    Yes, the cpu and mobo will both work because they are both socket 775.

    Btw, I havent really ever heard of a "power up" power supply... Could mean that its a bad PSU, but I'm not totally sure.

    The E6750 is the way to go.

    Its cheaper, faster, newer, and better overall than the E6600.

    Take that money you saved on the CPU and buy this Motherboard:

    or this one

    For a power Supply stick with either Enermax, Corsair, or Thermatake. PowerUp is questionable and should not be used in that computer. Don't think that the power supply in the least important component in your system. If the power supply goes, then so does your entire computer.

    or

    You will also need a SATA hard drive, not the ATA-100 Hard drive you have selected.

    And this video card:
    http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11610BD7962&vpn=320-P2-N815-AR&manufacture=EVGA
    it's the same one you have except it's factory overclocked and should yield higher performance than the one you have selected.

    If you add up the cost it should come out roughly the same as your old configuration.

    Powerup PSUs are rubbish, agreed on changing it.
