Overclocking is a free performance upgrade provided you do it right.
I'm running on an Athlon 64 x2 5000+ Brisbane.
The default clock is 2.6 GHz.
I'm running at 2.99 GHz on stock cooler. (I'm planing on upgrading so I can push it further.)
Quad-Core won't help you in games that don't support it.
Don't buy intel or nvidia unless you have money to burn.
I chose the Radeon HD 4870 256 bit 512MB GDDR5 for my rig.
