I should point out the E520 is only a E6400 chip, instead of E6600
chip. I'm not much of a gamer, but I suspect you won't notice the
difference.
Frankly, I suspect you might not have noticed the difference between
that and a E6300, but for $50 a few more hundred MHz is probably
worthwhile...

Another difference: The E6600 has a 4MB cache while the E6400 has half that.

I also recommend the Sonata or Sonata II "silent" case from Antec. Combined
with the factory cooler on the E6600 and a passively cooled Gigabyte video
card, my system is damned near silent - even when rendering video.
