Hello I'm planning on upgrading either my computers CPU or GPU
my budget is $140(can increase, but not too much)
System Specs as of now...
Cpu: Amd Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4000+ Brisbane 2.10ghz
Power Supply: Powermax 475w(maybe a little higher)
Ram: 4.00gb
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon Hd 4350
500gb hard drive
Motherboard: Asus M2A-Vm Am2+ Socket 65w max TDP
Now I wanted to buy a Radeon hd 5670, but thought it would get bottle necked by my cpu so I looked around and found this cpu

do you think i can use this for mid gaming or should i get a
Athlon 64 X2 7850 Black CPU (currently out of stock in most websites)
I'm probably going to get both the Radeon hd 5670 and phenom x4 2.1ghz CPU, but decided on asking here to see if anyone would recommend something a bit better.
Extra Info: I am currently playing metro 2033 at 20 fps(lowest settings), but wanted an upgrade in speed. Other tasks I do are play Runescape and surfing videos/web. I also already have a cpu fan and thermal paste so no need to worry about those.
