The problem you have as far as I can see it is that with your CPU, your already at the top end of what your motherboard can handle in terms of having a good CPU.  If you were to improve that, then your going to have to spend on a new motherboard also.  So that part, I'd upgrade last if necessary or else it will start to get costly.  There are a couple of CPU upgrades you can do though that would just be a swap (IE  X6800) but the gains would be minimal I would expect.

Really, its the Video Card you need to upgrade first as thats what is going to hold you back more than any other component at 720p

Yup. If i'd want to upgrade a CPU it will be easier to build a new PC for me and I don't fell in the right mood to do it currently.

Thank you for the support, its nice feeling when your thoughts align with others clever thoughts well! )
