Is the Opteron 170 worth the extra?

thinking of upgrading my 3500 Venice and saw the Opteron 165. i thought it looked good but saw the 170. im hoping for 2.6Ghz and will be using the Artic Cooling 64 Pro. would this be possible with the 165? or is the 170 the only way to go? i have the GIGABYTE GA K8N Ultra-9.

cheers,

i was hoping to invest in some water cooling in the future too so the money saved could go towards it :) i thought that if i get some water cooling and just overclock my componants then maybe it will save me from having to upgrade in future. and this 165 seems to be very good value for money :)
