Upgrade Itch...

So I've just bought a GTX 670 to replace my old GTX 480 and now im thinking what else i could do to refresh/rebuild my old system. I am running a p67 board (MSI p67a GD53) and an i5 2500k @4.3 GHZ and a Corsair HX 620w (this is pretty old but still going strong, powered my system with an overclocked GTX 480 in it no problem).

Do you think its worth going for a new mobo/CPU combo? The p67a chipset is pretty old hat these days right?

Will that motherboard help give more overclocking potential? unfortunately my chip isnt the greatest of clockers. 4.3GHZ and i need 1.32 volts. Im using a Zalman CNPS10X Extreme. keeps things under 65 degrees under load and in summer heat so its not too bad. I have been tempted by those cheap corsair watercooled refurbs though. I'm just paranoid about leakage...
