Buying a new processor

    Hi,

    I have an Intel Pentium 4 3.00Ghz as my processor atm. I wanted to update it to a dual core if possible (on a budget of €300-€350). Would updating my processor lead to a noticeable improvement in game performance, along with the video card I have (ATI Radeon 4600 series)? Does a processor actually help the card render the game better? (I've also seen a cheap quad core)

    What factors would I have to take into account when buying a new processor? Would I have to check the PSU and/or motherboard for potential issues? I'm clueless as to how to go about buying one, and I don't even know a good site/store to get one from. Help would be really appreciated!

    Thanks!

    EDIT: My motherboard is a Dell model 0KF623 with a BIOS of Dell version A02
