Wondering what you guys think would be the best bang/buck, hopefully for around the £50 mark secondhand (if possible). Any particular CPU I should look out for that could overclock nicely? Would rather have raw cpu speed than quad core, but not sure if I should go for quad for newer games eventhough it will probably not clock as well.

Current system:

Core 2 Duo, e6300 (1.8 ghz @ 3.115), 65nm, 2meg cache (I think).
Asus P5B Deluxe @ 445mhz Bus (1780 fsb in cpuz)
2Gig DDR2
8800GTS
 
OK thx. Might upgrade the RAM sometime, but I was mostly after more FPS. Don't really fancy spending the cash on a new GPU yet

Its mostly a cpu intensive non-multithreaded game I play atm (CS:S) . Everything else I play is running fine. More RAM probably wouldn't hurt but won't boost FPS will it?
