I'd say your CPU is good enough. If you can for sure resell it for that much more, I'd say do it.

I'll buy it! I'd LOVE one of these CPUs!

You're too smart. I should spank you. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I'm so afraid of dual core problems with gaming, I might just keep it though. Or, sell it and get a single core 3800+ and 2 GB OCZ Platinum RAM. Your 6800 GT is OK until the Geforce 8 come out which will be next summer. Spend the rest at your local stripper joint.

\EDIT: Oops, I noticed you already have OCZ RAM (although it's not the Platinum RAM, may not make enough of a difference to sell it and buy Platinum).

BUY + SELL

450 is cheap i would buy it and sell it like everyone else says than buy an opteron 170 dual core and oc that.

eBay for the win for sure. Sell that lady and buy yourself a nice 512mb GTX or a sexy DC Opteron

 

[kyparrish]

buy it, and then sell it and your 6800GT for a 7800GTX 512

 

[Zebo]

A "cheap" FX is still a ripoff in my book.

Agree, something fishy since AMD wholesale is ~$1000

But I'd buy for $450 ( and ebay it ) if it had DOA guarantee...
