With the total price of the upgrade, it's not really worth it. Phenom II x4 965, or even 955 (better bang per buck), is quite significantly faster, but you'd need a new motherboard, in the end, it costs so much for a pretty small boost in performance. If you really want to upgrade, go Intel i7 or i5... (the 200-300$ models).
