The only CPUs worth upgrading to (E8400, Q8400, Core i5, X4 620 etc.) either require a new motherboard or are too expensive to justify the small gain you'd see.

I'm not sure you'd notice much of a difference from an 8800GTS to a 4870. Perhaps a $259 HD5850?

Is that price confirmed? If yes, then I agree.

Buy a Radeon HD 5850 immediately.
