X2 3800 And 6800GS

It looks quite balanced to me.

6800 GS, imho. Especially if the X2 is overclocked.
It's not overclocked at all, I was looking to upgrade the processor and the gfx card, thinking 4600 X2 and a 8800, don't want to upgrade the motherboard as I just brought more Ram and a license for vista. It's a 939 board.
ITs a toledo core btw, so I guess overclocking and getting any decent results is out of the question.

There have been Toledo X2 3800's that clocked well 
Overclocking is worth a shot before you go buying a new CPU which has a mear 400mhz speedbump over your existing X2 3800.
The two are pretty well balanced as it is. Though both have potential to clock further. I for one would overclock the CPU and buy a new graphics card.

I have one at 2.7 stable!
Had it at 2.8 stable too just knocked it back a bit.

All down to your budget.
With a max of £20 to spend I'd be looking at the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro.
With a max of around £35 to spend I'd check out the Scythe Ninja Plus, Tuniq Tower 120, Scythe Infinity.
I'm using a Scythe Ninja and I've got my Opteron 165 Toledo to 2.8GHz 1.4V, fully loaded anywhere between 55-60, in a case with relatively low airflow
