Your PC doesn't need an CPU upgrade. All you need is maybe 4GB more RAM.

If you have a PII x4 already, then dumping money in a Sabertooth, i5/i7, and 16GB of RAM would be a waste of money for moderate upgrade. Just overclock your CPU to get the most performance.

So, just get another 4GB stick and a Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler for overclocking.
