Its only an extra £10 to get an Athlon Barton 2500 instead of an Athlon 2400.
And about the Fans, Number 3 of the ones you said
The Motherboard only supports up to a 266MHz FSB on CPU so he could get a 2600+ but Bartons would be a waste on that board.
You can get KT400 & KT600 based boards for Bartons cheap nowadays, not good overclockers but they do perform well.
