Hey guys...I finally got some money saved up for a C2D. I'm only getting the proc, mobo, and ram because I'm using the other parts from the other system in my sig. These are the parts I chose:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz 2M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

ASUS P5N-E SLI Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Some questions:
How much of a performance difference can I expect from this upgrade. I know the obvious answer, but will it be like day and night? Also is the 650i a good chipset? I think it's like a stripped down version of the 680i. Nice price too. And is that ram, good for overclocking? I plan on ocing this baby. Also is my power supply sufficient enough? Here is my PSU, from my sig:
