You should change GPU to either 4850/4670, depending on what you can afford.
What you gonna do with the computer?

It isn't really, but lets say you buy a CPU for 140$,
thats a 3.0gHz dualcore with high cache, if you buy the quad for the same amount it will have less gHz and probebly less cache/core.

Depending on the game you're playing, you might get a noticeable performance improvement by switching to a quad core. Supreme Commander has pretty good multithreaded support, so you can really benefit from a quad core. So far, it seems as if it has the best multithreaded scalability in games. Obviously, you'll benefit from the extra cores if you're running a better-written application, and multitasking.
Older games (pretty much anything from before 2007) don't effectively utilize all 4 cores available, so performance doesn't improve. But because dual cores are usually sold with a higher clock, they usually perform better in those games.

Even those games that does support 4 cores (like crysis) its better with 2 cores. Just stick with dualcore now if your not doing any rendering/server work etc.

im not sure what you guys mean by slower, the processor affects the fps of the game ? im still thinking about either getting the duo or quad, but whether if im going to get one or the other, im still going to oc it
