Upgrading please help

Hi guys this is my second thread. I would like to upgrade my PC as it is very slow. I was thinking of buying a new mobo, CPU and GPU and memory however my budge is quite limited. Now I am thinking of leaving the GPU and upgrading the other three and I can add the GPU later. My budged is around 300 pounds.

Any help please.

Currently:
Q6600
Gigbyte p53 DS3
2GB OCZ 800Mhz
8800GT

Any other suggestions please? Is it worth upgrading the CPU and mobo or shall I just change the memory as it is quite slow.

THanks

Also I the reason I want to upgrade is just to make the PC generally faster. My mac with i7 and 8gb is soooo smooth compared to my PC but I don't usualy play games even tho i have l4d2 and team fotress 2 installed.
