Whats the point of making a sideways step its a waste of money just buy the case and replace your chipset fan.
To complete a major upgrade imo you need to be looking at a total rebuild the only thing I would use is the gfx and existing hard/optical drives.Id save enough for a dual core cpu.If it is just cooling thats wrong with your mobo you can keep this and your ram and bung a X2 cuz these are cheap cheap now.
However I would recommend making do for now and buying a C2D when you can afford a new mobo and ram this then would be a major upgrade lol
I see your point Zingle but at this moment in time the computers laggy behavior is making the gf think about letting me upgrade since it keeps crashing out.

Will check into getting the fan fixed this week then work on getting the case cpu and HD upgraded.
