- Go with the E4300 as the price will drop after the weekend, to an even lower point.
- Get a hard drive with a 16MB cache. The WD2500KS or WD3200KS (250GB or 320GB) are good value for money. The Seagate 7200.10 series are good too.
- Get a Seasonic 420W or Corsair 420W (or something round about that, from seasonic, corsair or enermax).
- Get the Asus P5B-Deluxe or (if you need something a bit cheaper) the Gigabyte DS3.
- Get whatever DDR2 RAM is cheapest for a 1GB stick. You can go as low as DDR2-400 but I think the best offers are on DDR2-800 on NewEgg at the moment.

That's a widely debated question, I am going to say that the e4400 will edge out but the price difference might not make it worth it. A no-name casing is usually fine, just make sure it was a few good features before dropping the dough on it. If you keep it for a long time it will make a difference in my opinion.

i am leaning towards the e4300 and ill make sure that the no-name casing is fit for my components
