over the current d915 i was going to get ?
Newegg.com - Intel Pentium D 915 2.8GHz LGA 775 Processor - Retail

would it run better in games ? and does the lower clock speed matter? Also i will be overclocking it alittle. or well attempting to.

Lastly, i will have all the money in about 2 weeks.

If you can kick in the extra money for the E4300, I would get that CPU hands down. Check out this review. You can get into Extreme edition territory with the E4300 overclocked.

well if im gunna overclock that. any suggested cooling? im gunna keep it air.

You can't go wrong with the CNPS9500 from Zalman. I know for a fact the 9700 won't fit in the case you've chosen and the 9500 does an outstanding job of cooling any CPU.

I'm running the Zalman CNPS9500 right now and it really isn't as quiet as they claim. It seems to cool well, but at full speed the fan is annoying, but this is in a system with relatively quiet case fans. Check out The Thermalright Ultra-120 and pick out a nice 120mm Panaflo ultra quiet fan for it and you'll be doing great. If that is out of your price range, then check out the Scythe Ninja Plus, Scythe Mine, or Thermaltake Big Typhoon.

TT Big Typhoon!

Well an update. . .

I ended up getting another case. It was more toward my budget. . .

Cooler Master Centurion 5.
It seems pretty good so far. . .except the front was the hardest thing to take off. Broke a little piece of it . . . but ya cant see it so its okay.

Also i have just bought my psu.

Thats a really good budget case, I typically recommend the ANTEC Sonata because you get a good PSU included, but you definitely picked a good case and nice PSU

Good deal. Those Hiper's are getting pretty popular. I've not used one myself. The case you're using is decent enough if you get the air flowing through it well. I don't know how quiet that included 120mm fan is on the back of the case, but make sure you get a 120mm fan for the front. It should go in the front bottom, right in front of that hard drive cage. Since they are bigger, they turn slower, which means less noise.
