Title: Looking at a new processor.

Right, so. The website I get my parts from is having a sweet ass boxing sales deal.
And two of the processors are only 100 bucks.
My current specs are.
----
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 core 216 896 mb, PCI-E 2.0
AMD athlon 64x2 3800+
2 gigs of ram
I think thats all I need, I get the feeling that my Video card is outdoing my processor.
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ and the Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 Dual Core Processor are both on sale.
I know that both of these would be a upgrade over the 3800+, but I don't know which to get.

Both would be bottlenecks for the graphics card. the AMD one less so.

Got help from the EVGA guys (should of done that in the first place.)
Getting a triple core processor and a extra stick of ram, crises averted.

AMD? Odd choice, but alright.
