I'm stuck with a 939 socket mobo (a8n-sli deluxe) for the time being. I believe my video card, a 8800gts, is being bottle necked by my old single core 4000+. 939 cpus look to be getting scarce so I want to upgrade my cpu now.
Ones I am looking at are the Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Toledo and the Opteron 165 Denmark.
Given that I don't plan to upgrade much more (maybe another gig of ram on top of the 1 I already have), the fact that I intend to play modern video games with this rig, and that fact that I have some knowledge of overclocking, what do you think the best processor for me is?
