save your cash on the cpu and spend it on a gig stick of good memory. and overclock the crap out of it.
now as far as the temp that is definately high. are you using a thermal pad or grease. I would never OC a cpu using the thermal pad get yourself some artic silver and apply that. also if you take your side panel off does the temp go down? If so then now we need to work on the airflow of your case.
at min. you should have 1 80mm in the front blowing in and one in the back blowing out. then if your case has more slots I would recommend filling those bad boys up. Also getting round IDE and floppy cables will help with the air flow, along with cleaning up and tucking back any wires that you can manage. If you really want to go for it. I used round sheetmetal snips and cut a 120mm in the side and 1 in the top of my old case. the side one should be intake and top should be exhaust and that will push all the hot air from your PSU out of the case.
