Here is my build i am thinking of upgrading and becoming more future proof, my current motherboard is am3 compatible(a am3 is what i want) but i might in th future go crossfire, but i cant with that board, but the problem is money i could buy a new processor for the old board, or i could buy new gear for a new motherboard and that would extremely kill my wallet. so what is the most price efficient way to futureproof/upgrade?

Windows 7 32-bit
XFX nvidia gts 250
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz
500 gb 7200 rpm HD
4gb ddr2 800 RAM
650 watt earthwatts PSU
Gygabyte GA-MA770-UD3 am2+/am2 am3
