Which CPU is best value for money?

[Ragnaros]

I'm getting an AMD dual core CPU, as i've been told that dual core is the future. >_> Anywho, there are a lot of cards, that seem quite similar in spec. Slightly faster clock speeds and so on, but the difference in price is quite big.

So which of them is best value for money? I've never overclocked before and i don't know how so i doub't i'll start. I just want a CPU to go with my X1900XT and will run Oblivion at full settings.

Thanks. =)

I have no idea how to overclock. Will the 3800+ be fine without? I can probably afford to go for a more expensive CPU if not.
