System Specs

high spec new build?

Hi guys, now i maybe jumping the gun a bit but am planning a new build that im gonna buy the parts for in early september. just a few questions really. Im gonna be using it mostly for 3ds max and photoshop but also want a fairly high end gaming machine. so im looking at new quad core Q9450's, probly the new ati 4870. planning to run vista 64bit with 8 gig ram at mo (possibly wanting to up it in future) and probably a 24inch widescreen. my main problem is the mobo as im planning to overclock they system and not sure which to go for, had been lookin at intel p45 boards?. also are there many good overclockable 4 gig ram sticks out there or would i have to fill up my ram slots with 2gig sticks? motherboard wise im probably looking to spend 100 to 150 quid?
also...although obviously new techs always comin etc are there any major advances/hardware comin onto the scene in next couple of months? stupid question i know but still..

cheers for any help advice you can give.

phil
