Motherboard Advice Thanks

Hi there guys, I want to play these games on my pc on nice looking settings

Pro Evolution Soccer 5
Nba Live 07
Nhl 07
Nfl 07
Flatout
Flatout
The Sims 2
Manhunt
Counter Strike Source

My Specs aren't that bad but it's my processor I think that's holding me back from playing all of these on decent settings, I have 1gb of DDR Ram (2x512mb) pc 3200, and a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512mb AGP 8X Card that I just bought, but my processor and mobo is a asrock p4v800, Intel Celeron D 2.4GHZ which I been told is absolutely crap for pc gaming. So can any one help me out with buying a new processor + mobo + heatsink and fan, I found one shop that sells a Intel P4 3.0ghz cpu and foxconn mobo bundle for £89.99 is this good and will it play these games and make my pc faster in general with my current ram and gfx card. thanks guys so much

I think 90 pounds for a motherboard and a cpu is just fine if they're not used that is
Just make sure that the motherboard has an AGP (not a PCI-E) slot, and that it uses DDR (not DDR2) and you should be just fine

I recommend nVIDIA nForce 680i to you, it are designed for the extreme gamer. With true dual x16 PCI Express slots and support for NVIDIA SLI technology, the NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI is the ideal platform for an extreme gaming system.
