Your CPU is fine, and because you have an nvidia board, I'd go with Nvidia GPUs. The GTX 285 would be a good choice, and it scales nicely in SLI.

Iv'e read all the reviews available. The 285 does look good for the price. It doesn't appear that anything new is coming out? or I would wait.

In my opinion i think 2 of these cards would do. (budget wise)

or 2 of these. 10% off code: MMCHVGA

There`s always something new `on the way`. The big thing everyone is waiting for now is Windows 7 and DX11 but, frankly, by the time DX11 games become common we`ll all be looking for an upgrade anyway.
Get the GTX285.
