Best AMD Gaming CPU

Hi all, new to the scene, browse everyday under recommendation from my Dad, says he learns alot from here, so thought i would drop by with a question

This is my motherboard.

I am wanting to upgrade my CPU as im in the hunt for more FPS in Counter-Strike Source, and was hoping that you guys could tell me whats the best my mobo can actually take.

I currently have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6400+ 3.21GHz.

I live in the UK so i dont think newegg is capable of providing components for me

GFX 9600GT x2 atm but will be purchasing a 295gtx in the near future

RAM just cheap 4GB but will be purchasing.....this

in the near future also...lol

Ok, sounds like a plan

Yea, whats even more suprising is that the RAM is cheaper than ebuyer and overclockers lmao

I'll wait till i have purchased that, was mainly looking to see whats in the market, for a 'potential' purchase, not a definate.

Thanks for the quick replies btw

Keep your eyes open for an X3 720. Very good performance/$ ratio.

Hey dont kno when ill get moaned at for asking here.

But since my motherboard has allready been posted, i was wondering if you could tell me whether i have to stick with NVIDIA gfx cards or can i purchase ATi?

You can use a ATI card but the board does not support crossfire.
