But I'm looking at buying a new Graphics card but also upgrading my processors to

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+

Graphics card

basically my question is it possible to upgrade the processor on this computer. Is it possible to upgrade the processor with the one off of newegg?

You probably can, but without knowing what mobo you have, it's impossible to tell. It would probably also require that you update the bios.
That gfx card should be nice as well. The only worry would be if you are going from an Ati card to an Nvidia card. Doing that usually is best done with a clean OS install.

I believe it would be better to go with the 5000+ BE and oc it to 3ghz, due to the fact that some motherboards can't handle a 125w cpu. plus it cheaper
