And no, you can't multiply the CPU speed with the cache to get some value that doesn't even make sense unit-wise. If that were the case, I'd have 48GHz.

Are you sure your video card is a 265GTX? I'm pretty sure there's no such model. There will definitely be an increase in FPS over your old computer because of the CPU. Seeing as how you ordered it, you probably won't be able to overclock your CPU for extra performance.
Sorry mate, 260GTX. I keep confusing that.
And I full-well will be able to overclock it, and I have the full ability, I'm just cautious about such things. I have jittery hands and can't BUILD a computer, but I can take the liberty to install stuff like video cards, RAM, and heatsinks, sure.
