get a 6400, the higher multiplier will make overclocking easier.

actually get a 6600 you are so overbuilt (compared to the cpu) on the other components why are you going with such puny CPU ?

 

[irridion]

I like the cpu because it overclocks easily and is cheap to replace if /when I fry it

 

[engiNURD]

Looks good. CPU is low end while everything else is high end, hehe... if you want easy to replace, the E4300 has a higher multiplier and is cheaper than the E6300. The only thing it lacks vs the current E6300 is virtualization, which is useless right now.

Agreed. Get the E4300 and drop that expensive, last gen ATI XTX for an Nvidia GTS at least.
