Upgrading my E6550

[max2683]

hey guys, i was just wondering if i should upgrade my e6550 to either e8400 or q9550.
i have my e6550 oc'd from 2.3 to 3.0 right now. my rams are not good enough so i was thinking about buying new rams when i get a new processor. but the thing is, i use my rig as mostly playing games. so i dont know whether i should go w/ higher clocked dual or quad. the other thing im kinda worried about is tht is it too late to get a dual core right now?
im going to oc either one if i get it.
also, can anyone recommend what rams should i buy? im looking for 2*2Gb(4GB).
thanks.

my system
motherboard - 775 socket
ram - crucial ballistix 1g*2
vga - XFX 8800gt
cpu - e6550 oc'd at 3.0ghz

Don't waste your money on old technology now; prices for everything are higher. I would wait for Jan sales, and get an i5 or i7 setup. You can sell your old stuff on craigslist or ebay. You can sell your old memory for about the same price as what ddr3 costs. Core i5 boards start at $100, and frys has had some i5 combos for around $220 after rebate.
