Before I bought my present set up I was in a similar position. TBH I went from a 4000 to a x2 4600. I did not notice a big difference in the games I play.
However going from a 4600 to a Intel kit of 6700. I found a big jump.
If you are keeping skt 939 for a while I suppose going dual core while you can get the cpu's is ok. Just dint expect a mind blowing performance increase.
Hope that helps.
 
If you want more CPU power you really should think of overclocking what you have. I gained 600Mhz from mine with little effort.
 
For gaming I wouldnt make the upgrade, better spending money on graphics but as i can see you already have a great card.
