is it worth it to spend the extra 50 on the better processor? or can my current handle my computer well enough. im hoping to play bioshock on high.

If you already have the X2 4600+, no need to get a new processor. The rest of your system is good, Bioshock doesn't seem all that demanding, from what some of my friends are saying. Some of them ran Bioshock on high @ 1280x1024 with a 7600GT. Your X1950XT is much more powerful than a 7600GT. :)

I'm waiting untill crysis comes out untill I get a new CPU which will probably be a quad core adam0926

Crysis=overrated. not too much of a story behind it just you saying wow, wow! look at those textures!
