im just looking for a socket 754 cpu that would run the latest games without it being choppy, slow and "not as smooth". i hate getting poor performance when playing online so i cant play to my potential. i dont want to waste money on a crap cpu that wont allow this so im taking my time

this is the setup

asus k8v deluxe motherboard
AGP 256mb saphire x800pro
2x 512mb pc3200 corsair XMS
and the cpu
 
400 quid. i already have the motherboard.

psu £30/£50 (400w akasa paxpower)
ram £100 (1gb pc3200 corsair xms)
graphics card £160 (saphire 256mb x800pro)
cpu £100 amd 64 dunno

i dont want to get an expensive graphics card that cant work to its potential because the cpu isnt fast enough? looks like i might have to over the mark :(
