    To upgrade or not

    My current system is
    Asus a8r32-mvp
    ati x1900xtx
    amd 4000 san diego 2.4
    corsair xms 2x1 gb pc3200 twinx2048-3200c2pro

    This was a great system when I built it. I mainly game on the system.

    I am thinking of adding a
    Denmark 2.6 dual core processor for 329.00 newegg
    Would this be worth the money to upgrade to this processor or should I do a new Motherboard,processor,and ram.

    Asus p5wdh deluxe $209
    intel e6600 $308
    corsair dominator 2x1 twin2x22048-8500c5d $350

    Will I see a big differance in speed with the new Hardware?
    Thanks for your input

    Go for either an Opty 165 or the second option. To take a little money off, go for a DS3, e63/64/4300, and some cheaper DDR2-800 RAM

    Money(within reason) really isnt a issue just looking for a performance upgrade.
