I've currently got a E8200, slightly overclocked, and a GTX260. I mostly play WoW with a few other games like Crysis, and my framerates in raiding are a little low. I'm also slightly broke at the moment, so a full upgrade to sandybridge isn't a possibility. I was wondering whether dropping in a 2nd hand Q9550 and perhaps a new GTX460 (as its creeping down into my price range) would result in a significant difference in terms of frame rates? The only other option I can see is waiting until the autumn and perhaps going for a full upgrade then. Would be grateful for any thoughts.

Thanks for your help. The rest of my system is:
MB- Asus P5Q Pro, Memory - 4GB OCZ DDR2-800, HD - Samsung HD502HJ 500GB. The CPU is overclocked to 3.2, on the stock cooler. I don't know very much about overclocking, so followed one of the online guides to the letter.
