if this is for gaming i'd go with this cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103533
Trust me you will thank me cause i had that intel and it sucked and only lasted me 2 months then died. All my computers are now AMD.
And if you get that cpu you can't get ddr2 memory. |

With a limited budget, you will be best off going with an AMD processor... If you can increase your budget to get a Core 2 Duo, then go Intel.
If you can't increase the budget, then look into AMD socket AM2 processors. They also use DDR2 memory, and all you would need to change with your build is the CPU & Motherboard. The AMD 3500+ will outperform the Intel CPU you linked, and it will also run cooler, and use less power. Get yourself a good Power Supply as well.

Problem is with the C2D and your $600 budget is that with the E6300, and the GPU & RAM you selected, your ballpark is about $150 left for Motherboard and PSU... and the PSU is NOT an area you want to take a short-cut.... You will kick yourself if you lose hardware because you saved $50 on a PSU.
