For those needs, I don't know how much a difference you would see between the E6300 and E6400.
Motherboard....I have a recommendation for that; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131048 I think that would work great for what you need, if the budget matters a whole lot. I'm not as much in the know when it comes to RAM, but I wouldn't get RAM that's that high of quality unless you're in for some serious overclocking. And if you're overclocking, forget about that mobo I recommended. I don't think it overclocks with Core 2 Duos. |

You should have kept this in your other thread.
Parts selection looks good except I thought you needed FireWire? That motherboard doesn't have FireWire, the Deluxe does. You'll need a FireWire card. And I don't know much about the Corsair power supplies at the moment...I'd go with a Fortron Source instead. Cricket
