Some money is burning a hole in my pocket so i'm going to do some upgrading tomorrow . Here are current specs...

I know my system looks pretty good now, but I need a mobo, ram, and video card and I got a pretty good second system. So I figure why not just get better stuff for my main rig . This is what I eventually want this system to look like...
2800+ or 3000+ BARTON
ABIT NF7-S 2.0
9800 PRO
2X256 TWINMOS 3200 W/NEW MEMORY CHIPS
2x36gb WD sata raptor's raid 0
LIAN-LI PC75
DANGERDEN/SWIFTECH WATER COOLER
In the system above I will of course use all the best parts I have. So in all i'm planning on spending about $600-700 cdn.
Now to the vote, I'm going to buy a cpu of some kind tomorrow and can't decide which. I don't mind buying something to use and then sell down the road, as long as it's something that I can get my money back on. I eventually will be upgrading to the 2800 or 3000 so it is more then just price for performance. I'm including the 2500+ in the vote but it is my least favorite because I would rather take a cheaper step now, since i'm upgrading to a barton anyway. I will include prices in Canadian dollars and special situations I can get with them.
