Unsure on parts for new build...

[Brutus]

Looking at building new PC, atm not to sure what way to take the build. Going for Core 2 Duo setup.

Atm got BFG 7800Gt oc (8800 soon ish), Corsair HX 520W and some WD 320gb SATA-II 16MB from my old build.

New parts looking at are as follows

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300/E6600
Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650
Corsair DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) / OcUK 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400 DDR2

Not to sure how to go about picking the new parts. Worth spending the extra and go full out on the corsair along with the e6600 or go along with corsair and the e6300?. Is the corsair worth the extra over the OcUK if im not overclocking at this time, or is there other ram I should look at? Or what combo from above be the better build?

Main use for the PC will be gaming (1600x1200), not really looking at overclocking and don’t want to go over no more than £500.

If anyone could give few points to help me pick from the above or add other specs would be great.

Thanks

If you're not planning on overclocking, go for the E6600.

Also, the Dominator is a waste of money, really. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-058-GL and you're good to go.

IMO I do think its much better to go with the outstanding E6600 prozzer, it clocks very well, and the 4Mb Level 2 Cache gives it a great boost when completeing tasks and playing games

if its within your budget, get the E6600.
