You should be able to use that cpu a bit longer. Whats the make and model of the power supply? And whats the budget?

I personally would not upgrade your CPU, i7-960 is pretty tank still. Overclock it if you can and upgrade your GPU if you must... what is your current GPU?

With $2000 you can get a whole new beast of a system. Here I made a really good build that would destroy any game.

I recommend just upgrading your GPU to something high end that will last a while, and then upgrade your CPU/mobo later if necessary. I'd say you should still be fine. Have you overclocked the i7-960 at all?
