I'm on a limited budget, but I want to build a new PC. I believe I will get the barton 2500 CPU. Is there a particular MB that works best with this processor? The MB would need built-in video or a video card that works with that MB. I would like raid 1 on the MB. I would like a MB that will let me overclock and HSF that will keep the CPU cool if I do. The HSF must be as quiet as possible. I will be starting with 2 sticks 512M 2100 DDR for RAM and all the other parts will come from other systems.

Any recommendations? I have about $300 for the MB, Video, CPU, HSF.

CPU = $130 which leaves about $170 for the rest.
