Options!

Right I have two Options available to me my current setup is :

Inter Pentium E2160 @ Stock
JW IP35 Pro Motherboard (1.5 Bios)
2*OCZ PC2-6400 1024MB
PNY Geforce 9800GT @ Stock
running Windows Vista 32 bit

Now I wouldn't mind a bit more horsepower available to me, generally play Wow, COD4, AA3, and Empire Total War. I have the following options available for me:

1. Keep the system as is and change the processor to a faster one that the board will support.
2. Change to an AM3 board and get a Phenom II cpu.

Ideally I would like to spend as little as possible as funds need to be acquired for a trip down under , what would you recommend?

hmm think I will go for the overclock and more ram. that still gives me the chip upgrade to sneak in later

Using the stock cooler (which I must admit is garbage) as I never got round to changing it, so will get a better one as well. Overall a nice cheap upgrade.
