Everything?:( But I can maxout everygame with this except Crysis. 667 to 800 Mhz isnt worth it and I thought the cpu is good enough only few games support dualcores.

667 to 800 is not worth it unless your overclocking

psu, video card, then cpu

your probably good keeping that cpu though.. just overclock it

I ran crysis cpu benchmark and Physics was set to very high and it never dropped below 32 fps so I think the cpu is good

it cant be a big GPU seeing as your case is a mid-tower so something like a 9600GT would be fine.
