I have a Athlon 64 x2 4600+ OC'd to 2.7ghz and an Asus EN9800gt OC'd to gpu@720mhz mem@1110mhz shader@1700mhz on a Gigabyte m57sli-s4 rev 2.0 with 4 gigs of ddr2 800 ram. i have an Okia 600W psu.
I'm looking at getting a AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition for about 90 bucks on newegg, and later upgrade my mobo to maybe unlock the other 2 cores, plus get some ddr3 at some other point in time. I'm also looking at nvidia's gtx460, I've been reading alot about it overclocking very easily and being a good mid range card.

I would like my min frame rate to stabilize and was wondering which would do it better. I am on a budget and was looking strongly at the CPU but then again I would need to spend more on the mobo and mem to use it to its peak. I will have to save up for the gtx460 1g ver. I'm in to future proofing my system so I dont have to buy upgrades every year, but im cheap/poor so I would like some help deciding which to go after first.
