Any help would be good
 
I would get the E6320, you also need to buy a new psu because the one that comes with that case might now power that card. Do you have an OS already?

Edit: that psu has dual 12v rails at 17a, it might power it. i would get other opinions

Get a different power supply, can never trust the ones the cases come with. If your budget is willing, step up the CPU as well, like ThatGuy said. Also if you are going to game on this computer, perhaps a better motherboard with SLI capabilities is in order? Just a suggestion though.
 
That PSU is an Earthwatts 500W - the same as is sold separately from the case. It is quite sufficient for the system in question.
 
You can save some money on the motherboard, by getting the Gigabyte S3 rather than the Gigabyte DS3. From my experience, they overclock the same, and the only difference is what some of the resistors are made from.
