Re: Price check + spec help
While you are running at a reasonably low resolution by todays standards you are stil most likely GPU bound in the majority of situations.
I would keep the CPU and Motherboard and just get a new graphics card. With the CPU overclocked to 3GHz you will see no benefit in games from changing to anything other than a quad core which with a new motherboard will swallow the majority of your budget.
So a new graphics card depending on how much you want to spend I would be looking at a ATi HD4850 (£100+) (possibly the 1GB model, ~£130+) or a 9800GTX+ (£120+) both offer a big boost over the 8800GT but if your willing to spend a bit more then a GTX260 (192 cores £180+, 216 cores £215+) or a HD4870 (£170+) (or a 1GB version ~£190+) will give you an even bigger boost.
Your only other option would be to get a second 8800GT 512MB for SLi but I would expect you to need a larger PSU while your 450W would probably be enough it may be stretching it into the regions of noisy fan speeds.
