Next upgrade...?

[Assasin-uk]

Looking to throw £300ish at my pc as a last upgrade this year, next year i intend to go quad core so want to make sure the upgrade i put in now will still be usuable then realy?

All this pc does is game and browse the net...

spec listed below from cpuz

Name Intel Pentium D 945
Codename Presler
Specification Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz
Package Socket 775 LGA (platform ID = 2h)

Gigabyte 965p-ds3 mainboard

1024mb ram DDR2 OCZ gold pc2 5300 (335mhz)

pci-e x1950xtx 512mb gfx

and raptor drives with 17" iiyama tft..

Playing COD4 and crysis is doable but with the gfx turned down....



Suggestions for my xmas prezzie to my self for gaming...?

im guessing the new cpus wont go in this board so its gonna be a gfx card?


Thanks

Is it worth doing a cpu when im planning on going quad core next year? ( wont my mobo be bin fodder for the new cpu's relased next year?

Also is it not worth going for the highest end 8800?
