u r short on budget, for 10k, u can get a Athlon64 3000+ with a Asus A8N-VM motherboard, but u will have u leave the AGP card u have
Even if u go for Intel, in which i would prefer the Pentium D 805 ( if available) for a cheap solution... with an intel original motherboard, u will have to again replace the motherboard.
Last option, Athlon64 3000+ with Asus A8V motherboard, that has an AGP slot without onboard gfx,so u can use your existing solution
however.. why do u want a new CPU at all, your current system is good enough for all nongamings things
what i would suggest is that u sell ur AGP card and with that money along with the money u have already, buy a new AGP card and if possible some more RAM. go for 6600 GT or X800 GTO which should cost u under 10K's. and if u find X800 GTO let me know from where and at exactly how much cost?
