Sub $600 upgrade....how does this look?

[Hyperlite]

I'm at college and i'm doing some upgrades for one of the machines i built at home. I'm trying to keep it around $500, how does this look?

-E6300
-Gigabyte 965P-S3
-1GB Corsair Valueselect
-BFG 7600GT

total: $556

reusing hdd's, case and Fortron 530w.


how far do you guys think i can take the E6300 on stock cooling?

ds3>s3

If you can put in a little more money, get the DS3 like organdonor said and try to get better ram. You can easily overclock the e6300 to last you a while with good ram.

Not when you're on a budget...especially since the S3 can still get over 500FSB

Looks good to go! But I wouldn't trust stock cooling... AS5 and a $20 HSF would still be better.
