If you do want to upgrade your CPU, your options are very limited as the fastest you can install is ATHLON 64 FX60 or a 4600+

If i were you i'd hang on to that system and build an entire new system when you have the cash, because socket 939 is oldies technology and your DDR 400 RAM will be incapable in the new board.

Your 8600GTS would be fine for most games, but not the latest on highest settings. If you do find it slowing down severly, think about getting a new graphics card.
