Hey guys, I was wondering what is the best thing to upgrade right now with what I have. I am willing to spend 200-250 so it would have to be videocard or cpu basically.

6800GS,
opteron 144(socket 939) w/ Epox 9npa+ Ultra
PC3200 1gig ram

I am leaning towards upgrading 6800GS to 8800GT. I am assuming I will gain more fps in games like Crysis from a better videocard than a better gpu. Other thing I can do is wait until 8800GT's price drops by like december to $200(i think it is supposed to, right?) and buy a $50 HSF for cpu and overclock it to ~2.4-2.5 ghz. Thoughts?
 
Dual core would be best, but I'd hold out for a complete revamp.

8800gt+e6750+IP35-E+2 gigs DDR2 can be had cheap enough.
 
I agree, save more if you can. If you can't wait, pickup the 8800GT for now, if you want better gaming performance.

Your opteron didn't come with the 4-heatpipe stock cooler?!?! :eek:
