I just bought a new graphics card and even bought a new power supply unit because it required a 300W one. I'm getting lag spikes in minecraft and the fps seems to be equally as crappy whether I'm using AA/AF or not.

So is my CPU the bottleneck? What is the cheapest CPU I can buy that will give me a solid 60fps with no lag spikes and let me keep AA/AF?
Looks like more then your CPU driving down your computer, You ram is slow and as for the socket 775 I seen very few that can support the PCI-e 2.0 for video cards. You may have to scrap your motherboard and start over. Lets see what i can dig up.
I'm unable to find any processors that isn't at the end of life status. Without a processor support list it can be very hard to pin point which processor will work with your BIOS.
