Get the newer, higher clocked & much better AMD dual-core Athlon II or Phenom II CPU

Changed the motherboard, processor and memory to this:

Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (Socket AM3) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 3.00GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail
OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel (OCZ3P13334GK)

Good idea? I want to still keep the spec below £800
