no any upgrade would be marginal in benefits. Wait till you can do a rebuild as a new mobo cpu and ram will make a huge difference you would just be wasting your money buying a cpu. Overclocking also would only make slight difference. If it aint broke don't fix it

I used to have well still do have lying about AMD X2 4600 same motherboard, and 3GB DDR400 going into a build for the GF.
I moved all my other bits over with a budget of £500 to a Abit Ip35 pro, A Q6600, and 4GB Corsair XMS2.

BTW, if you are going to do a new build checkout Zing's little guide
Oh and remember to use stand off's when seating your Mobo
