Discuss please.
 
Cosair 650 watt is my suggestion and lose the motherboard for GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L LGA $87
 
I'd go with Intel in your situation since the E5200 performs on par with the X2 6000+ but uses less power, $9 cheaper, and can overclock significantly higher than X2 6000+, allowing for more performance.

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 CPU - $84
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R Intel P45 Motherboard - $120
----
Total: $204 plus tax and shipping.

Video card wise, ditch that old GTX 260 with 192SP and go with the GTX 260 with 216SP for the same price:
EVGA 896-P3-1265-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB PCI-E Video Card - $300

Your current G.Skill 2GB DDR2 800 RAM is enough.

Now the big question: What power supply do you have?
 
1) What's your budget?
2) What's your budget?
3) What's your budget?
4) What's your budget?
5) What's your budget?
6) If you're running multiple programs, I would look into grabbing an extra 2GB of RAM. You'll be playing music, too, right?
7) Samsung is ok, especially because they are so cheap. If you want better quality monitors, check out BenQ's e-store.

If you have the cash to spare, then yeah go for the E7200. However, like silent-circuit said, only a few people see 4GHz OC with the E7200/E7300. But even at stock speeds, the E7200 will beat the X2 6000+
