May I make a suggestion? Forget getting a CPU at this stage.

If you really must upgrade now, go for windows 7 64-bit (a must) a really decent graphics card and a PSU to match. I suggest a 700-750 watt PSU and a graphics card such as a HD6970 or Nvidia equivlalent. Maybe a bit more ram as well. (extra 1gb)

I am also running a core 2 3ghz, and it runs fine.

I've always been a big believer of video card, then ram, then cpu...in order of importance for gaming.
