Go for the E6750. It should be cheaper, than the E6600, and it's better. As for the RAM, you need DDR2 memory. I would suggest brands like G. Skill, Crucial Ballistix, Patriot Extreme Performance, and GeIL.
For the power supply, I would suggest brands like Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, FSP (Fortron Source), or XClio.
Good choice on the motherboard.

Q6600 is better for the future, if you can fit into the budget. | |
