Hi,
I'm looking to get a new CPU and GFX ASAP.
Currently have:
XFX NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 256mb pci express
ASUS 8N32-SLI Deluxe
AMD 64 3000+
2gb RAM.

I play Team Fortress 2 mostly on a 2405 @ 1920 x 1200 and get between 25-50 (depending if I'm looking at a wall or fighting..lol) Even with everything on low.
I need something to get it more smoother at this massive resolution. I've been recommended getting:
£41 - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (Socket 939) - OEM
£164 (this week only) - Asus GeForce EN8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Don't have a lot of money and I'm not looking to play/buy other games (crysis etc). Do you think this is a good idea for me?

Thanks for any advice, looking to buy very very soon..
