Hopefully this Kuma can clock and not be fussy at about 3Ghz so that my minimum FPS won't be so low anymore

If that's the case then having 400fps vs 60 doesn't really make any difference.
That's odd about your system's minfps - I'm anywhere between 40-130fps (though I don't do AA, HDR or fancy reflections). I'm always aware when I've got powersaving mode on though, since my CPU gets throttled to 1GHz, and I get ~18fps on CSS, about 8 on TF2.
As is widely known the source engine is really CPU reliant. So I think the Kuma will see you well. My X2 is a 2.6, but if I ratchet it up to 2.8 I find it does help with the occasional slowdown (software OCing Dell MBs ftw)
