recomendations are hard without a price and purpose for the machine.

if i was to do a new build today for myself i would start with a core 2 duo in a nf650i mobo with some ddr2 pc 6400.

other than that its back to my first line.

im sure that a good clean and possibly some new thermal paste would help your over heating problem.

edit

@ryan
i must of started as you posted, thats not going to fit a socket a mobo tho :)
