Upgrading - Views welcome

[Xbandito]

Hi Guys (an Gals), Another "lurker" here asking about some advice on an upgrade I am planning to do in the next week or two.
At the moment I have a "failing" Asus A8N-E mobo with a AMD 64 4200 dual core, 2 GB (4x512mb) Geil pc3200 and a Sapphire HD 2600xt (was looking to add a 2cnd one to it but they have gone) .

Now I have sitting in my basket at OC -:
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX x2 = 4GB
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz (Socket AM2) - OEM
Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 AMD 790FX (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2
Zalman CNPS8700-NT CPU Cooler
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

(and a Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7200S 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter) for the hell of it

Now being a somewhat of an old'ish man with a tiny ammount of pc know how, will this set up be ok ?.

I was hoping to add an extra HD 2600xt to it but alas it seems as if OC have stopped selling them

@bigred - I hate intel, always have ever since I got a packard bell 286. I have always had AMD since then and that equals a lot of cpu's and not one of them has let me down.
@Ginger - Yup, I have a budget of £350 could stretch it a bit but I dont really want to (missus would kill me). It's mainly for photo editing and strategy games (as I am one of the poor gamers who cannot play FP games because of motion sickness).

Ok, Ok, you may have persuaded me to go intel.....thought of this lot -:

Asus P5KC Combo Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 x2
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 2.66GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) = £321

leaving me enough for another 2600xt from EBay

Then I doubt it, more into world in conflict, medieval total war 2, company of heroes etc


@Viper - I dont think I will be doing any overclocking, I more than likely to fry the damm thing and that means more cash, which equals me being cremated rather quickly by the missus
