Is it worth paying a bit more and getting an intel core 2 duo processor like this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intel-Core-2-D...QQcmdZViewItem

Or should i just stick with this one:

It's always worth getting a faster cpu if you can, performance is never wasted in a gaming machine because even though you may not need a certain speed cpu at the present time it will always add to the length of time you can use the machine before going down the upgrade path.

If it's within budget, get it.

Right now that ive read about this 'overclocking' thing, is the core 2 duo processor and that motherboard capable of overclocking? Im not 100% percent sure if i want to overclock though as i cannot afford to keep replacing parts.

I have a P5K-E and it is good for overclocking. I build my first computer a couple months back based on this board and Q6600 (2.4Ghz) chip and I am very happy with it. The board temps are a little hotter than most most because of the sensor location. I am currently running at 3Ghz without any probs.

If you are planning to overclock then read around as much as you can first. i think there is a guide on here and you will be able to find others based on the P5K-E board if you google a bit. You'll just need to keep an eye on the temps until you get it stable.

Good thing about this motherboard is that if your overclock fails it will reset itself simply by turning off the computer.

You can get software to check your temps(assuming you are getting a C2D) its called TAT(Thermal Analysis Tool)
Below 55-60c is what it should be
