highlife has it all wrong.

You will see a huge performance difference between the E4400 and the E6550.

THe E6550 processor is an easy and cheap upgrade. The RAM is ridiculously expensive. You can add a second GB if you need to for 35$ or so.

That 8300 graphics card really doesnt seem worth the $ to me. You can get card with more RAM and a better engine for the same price from Newegg too. You can bet an 8600GT for about 110.

Get the E6550, with the FSB and L2Cache increase it is the best bang for you buck on that list.

Cool. tyvm. Would this 8600GT allow me to run 3 or more monitors on its own (or would that only be possible if used in conjunction with the installed vid card?

Once again, thanks for all advice.
