6850 if you dont overclock
6600 if you overclock it is the cpu even though you didnt say the speed of it.

The processor is really holding you back. Most games are only single threaded, so in reality it's like your playing with a Pentium 4 2.8, which is a really poor performer in the gaming department.
A Core 2 Duo will make a significant improvement. And as Kof said, if you plan to overclock, save some money and buy a lower end C2D, and overclock it.
