Its it worth upgrading my CPU & Motherboard to Conroe around £700 or keeping what i have for a while or just upgrade my graphics card maybe to 7900 512 GTX or 7950 GX2 1024MB .

Or upgrading the memory on my system

I am very happy with my FX57 at the moment , would i get much more performance using conroe

Keep what you have, unless you have a lot of disposable income...ie that new system is a days wage

Sell the 7800GTX, the buy a X1950Xt on offer for £287.86. Then buy 2x OcUK Value Hanns-G HC194D 19" LCD Monitor for £123.36 each, and a Matrox TripleHead2Go for £187

Would it be worth waiting for DX10 ?
