GPU is your main priority,
The CPU will be good for a year max, then you need to upgrade to match whatever GPU you get , GOodluck!

GPU is the most important

i guess most of these guys havent heard of bottlenecking...
your gpu is pretty well ballanced against your current cpu, but if you but a bigger 1 it will start bottlenecking. so a new cpu perferably a phenom 2 960 would be your first choice and that will allow you to buy any gfx card up to a 660ti or gtx570 or gtx480
or ati hd 5870/6950/7850 again if you go higher your likely to encounter bottlenecking.
if you want the best gfx cards then you will need to jump to intel based platform as they offer more bandwidth to cope with the newer high end offerings.

Bottlenecking, my friend. If he got a more powerful GPU and kept that old CPU he wouldn't have a very good experience. He needs to upgrade both at once.
