I can somewhat relate as I have the same specs as you (E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz, 8800GT, 4GB ram (DDR2)). I recently tried to figure out where to go next specs wise.

If I were to upgrade video card, I'd go with Radeon 7850 instead. It's only a bit more expensive than 560 Ti but is more powerful and uses less power.
However I think it would be better to save some money and get everything at once. At least that's what I'm gonna do. CPU would most likely bottleneck the GPU. Overclocking 4 years old CPU sounds a bit risky to me (sure, you can do it, but in my case, I definetly won't be able to afford new hardware in a while, so I'd rather extend life of my PC's components as much as possible) and Core 2 Quad is too expensive to be worth it.

So yeah, I'd wait and then get everything at once.


I guess Im going to do the same since that seems to be the best option...... the PC games can wait for 2 or 3 more months :)
