Yep, that cpu should do 3-3.2ghz on decent air cooling, more if you are lucky.
If you post the rest of the parts you are thinking of we can chime on those as well.

Yeah, I'm going to be helping my buddy build a budget gaming rig and I'm suggesting he gets the E2160 ($10 for a x9 multi over the x8 of the 2140). There are enough decent mobos and ram to get these procs to 3GHz+, match it with an 8800GT or a 38x0 and you have a pretty damned good gaming rig for sub $700.

my rig is as follows
e2140 $80
gigabyte P35-S3L $90
2 x 1 ocz system elites $100 (when i bought them)
OCz to 3ghz with stock + 2 increments, 1.3375v = 375 x 8 = 3ghz, ram runs 450mhz (ddr900) @ 5-5-5-15-2T

for mobo, get the gigabyte P35-DS3l, the ds3l has better caps.
the e2180 may go higher than the e2140.

To see what quite a few others are getting with similar chips, check out the E2xxx & E4xxx Overclock Thread at Anandtech. Both the 2140 & 2180 should do 3.0GHz no problem (no guarantees in OC'ing of course), just get a good cooler to go with them.
