I am about to buy an i5 system on very limited budget, I need your advice if the configuration would be overclockable (not extreme) and if there is something I chose very bad...

Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2, P55 or
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3, P55 (Is there a real difference?)

2x Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 2GB PC3-10667U CL9 (or do I need some other CL? Is larger CL better or worse?)
There is much cheaper OCZ DDR3 ... is it any good? Do I need memory with ECC extension?

I don't have money for water cooling so I'd go with some 40$ cooler.
