Cpu upgrade advice

[darksun9210]

Hi all,
i'm in a bit of a quandry. I've been browsing cpu prices and the like, and want to jump in to some i7 socket 2011 love, but nothing i run actually stresses my current setup.

current spec.
Asus P5Ke-wifi something mainboard.
Intel Core2 Quad 9650
444/1776Mhz FSB pushing the cpu clock to 3996Mhz
8GB DDR2 1066 dual channel ram running at 888Mhz (2 to 1 sync memory to FSB clock ratio)
Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 670 OC graphics card - standard clocks

dell 27" screen : 1920x1200
dell 19" screen : 1280x1024

skyrim looks great, and i can run two instances of WOW (two accounts) - one on each screen full res, at 60+fps each
supreme commander runs smooth as - with all unit counts maxed for 8 players
left for dead1/2 is the source engine, so no worries there.

i'm about to get into ArmaII and it's Day-Z mod...

is there any point building a new rig? or stick it out till something comes out that really changes the game?

never really got into Crysis..

thanks for any ideas or thoughts

Cool, thanks, I'll hang back on the upgrade for the time being then

the wife did make me laugh when i got the 670 - "i didn't know you could spend £300 on a graphics card!" yes, and the rest!

Core 2 quad at 4GHz is still very capable wait until you think its causing lag or something.
