Hey at the moment i'm thinking of buying a new motherboard and some DDR3 ram to go with it.

http://scan.co.uk/Products/Product [...] tID=669219
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Pro [...] tID=700246

But i'm not sure if i should spend all the money i've saved on just these, bascily i'm looking for the biggest proformance hit on games such like Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3. Should I just wait for the new Nvidia card (9 Series) or just get these? at the moment my system specs are

XFX 8800GT 512mb
DDR2 GSkill 667 2GB
Asus p5n32-sli se deluxe
E6700 Core 2 duo clocked at 2.84 (Notice the upgrade motherboard link, it has a very good overclocking rating)

Can anyone recommend anything? thanks in advance

OMG no dont do it. You wont notice any difference huge waste of money.

Stay with what you have and save untill you can buy a new system.
