not many options for C2D with onboard graphics. if u wanna OC go for XFX650i ultra for 5500. couple it with a 7300gs grfx card for 3.2K
total= 8.7K
 
Note that if GC is inbuilt then you may encounter difficulties during OC.

c2d4300 not doing OC .. is like not utilizing the power you have.
 
Take my word & better invest in a graphic card or go in for AMD solution with good 690G onboard video or 6150 from Nvidia.Intel's onboard solution on lies in 2 variety,GMA 900(946 chipset) & GMA X3000 (965 chipsets).Both are equally pathetic onboard solutions IMO.Most of the Hardware T&L based games fail to run on it.Recently a beta driver update has been launched & yet many of the games experience crashing & PC rebooting.So if you want to save yourself the trouble of only surviving on an onboard then don't buy a PC for gaming at all.My suggestion save up a bit & go in for a low end PCI-E card temporarily.
 
If u're not OC'ing, I'd suggest get the cheapest c2d mobo around here, and plug in a gfx card of ur choice as per ur budget, even the cheap graphics cards will perform much better than the pathetic Integrated Intel solutions.
