Processor?
If you've got the cash to make a new computer, and you want to play games with better graphics, I recommend you make a new one.
Post a budget and your use for the computer and we can help you with what to buy here.

Depending on if you bought your computer from a manufacturer or not, the case may not offer such a great airflow system, but that's up to you.
If you're in the US, go to newegg to choose parts.
Here's the basics for a system about $900-1000.
Intel C2D E8400
ATI Radeon HD 4850
Asus P5Q PRO (or P45 Gigabyte alternative)
2x2GB DDR2 800
650W Power supply unit
Big Typhoon, Ultra-120 w/ fan, or Tuniq Tower for an aftermarket CPU cooler (air)
DVD drive (up to you)
Floppy disk drive (worth having at $10)
Any hard drive will do --pick your capacity of choice, 500GB goes for around 60-5, 1TB 110-20.
Parts if you want to upgrade:
4870 or 4870x2 graphics card,
Q9550 for a better processor.

1. Superfetch
2. Hardware accelerated desktop environment
3. Memory not used is wasted, might as well have it used to open programs more quickly. If you DO need a (lot) of memory, Windows will cut back on how much it's using.

Why are you getting less helpful, you didn't even bother to find that link (which is here).
Or are you just trying to get to 1000? xd
EDIT:
OP, get that motherboard (the Gigabyte) if you're going to overclock at all, but I would recommend the one of the ATI cards I mentioned over the 260...
