and it is entirely up to you but I would get the E6300 and the Gigabyte DS3 mobo and OC it and use the extra cash toward something else like the 512mb version of the 7900gt. If you dont like to OC then keep what you got, but the E6300 is one hell of a OC'er, check out the article that was posted a couple of days ago if you havent already.

Frys has a 400gb SATA II 16mb drive for 119 and I recently bought a Seagate 320gig SATA II 16mb drive for 95 from newegg. Most people are recommending the P5W over the P5B. Amazing how fast it adds up.
