Bump, I am also taking suggestions on what cooler to use, seeing as the processor doesn't come with one. Keep in mind I want to OC it to around 3.0 or 3.2

and it would be a bonus if it was under 50 dollars

Hi I am looking to upgrade my system. I believe my CPU isn't letting me realize the true potential of my system

Current Specs:

A8N32 SLI DELUXE MOTHERBOARD

AMD 4800+ 2.4 Ghz Dual core processor

SLI'd EVGASuperclocked8800 GT's

2 gig of ddr corsair memory

Sata hardrive

Creative X-fi Souncard

I am thinking about, cashing in a savings bond and going for this bundle http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3403908

Along with 2 gig of cheap but good ram off newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066

Now after changing out the board, cpu, and ram, I will have to reactivate windows right. I did when I upgraded my video card. What else do I need to know about the installation. I will unistall all my graphics and cpu drivers. Am I missing something? Is this a good future proof setup (as far as mobo, cpu and ram). Are we on the verge of seeing some new cheap but better processors coming soon? Also is intel on the verge of a new socket?

Also if you see a better upgrade for my system, please advise.

Thank you,

I disable Norton Antivirus? I should have done this in the past, just wondering if I will get a noticable boost in FPS's?

Its dual core, this was on my mind because I saw somebody running crysis on high with one 8800 GT. I have 2 and I experience questionable frame rates on very high, 1680/1050, and no antialiasing. Only with alot of action though and a few of the later levels.

I have a AMD 4800+ 2.4 Ghz @ 2.5 Ghz, and SLI'd 8800 GT's. Is my system bottlenecked? Should I look into overclocking more, or gettinga better processor?
