For 200$

[Predator_CITF]

A friend of mine has agreed to get me something within 200$ from Amazon.com (long story, dont ask me to get something from another site).

Right now, I only have a CPU and motherboard:

3000+ Venice
DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D

On Amazon, for about 150$, I saw the OCZ PowerStream 600W SLI. I also saw the Opteron 144 and Athlon X2 3800+ for around the same.

Which should I get? The X2 3800+ would be a good upgrade to my now obsolete 3000+ Venice, but then I also need a PSU and the PowerStream is good. Should I just get the 3800+ and then buy a cheaper PSU like a Fortron AX500 which performs well, or get the OCZ PowerStream 600W, which is also pretty nice?

Thanks.

Post reasons please as to why I should choose the X2 3800+ over the Opteron 144 and OCZ PowerStream 600W SLi.

X2 Cpu. PSU's don't need to be more than $100. Opteron is more expensive than Athlon nowadays and thusly not worth it (two cores vs one in this case).
