Are you high? What you have now already surpasses the "typical" new home PC on the market now by a ridiculous stretch. What you're thinking of buying isn't cheap either.
Maybe you should check with the Pentagon and see what they're running and try to match that.

Well I don't know why everyone is talking like you are running a government level supercomputer, don't get me wrong its nice but not amazing. The processor and motherboard are the only things you need to replace, I have never seen a Core 2 Duo motherboard that won't take 667, if it says DDR2800 standard that means its the highest it can take. You should notice a pretty decent performance increase with the Core 2 Duo, especially if you overclock it. Also, I hope you are using a 64bit operating system, else you are not taking full advantage of the 4GB of RAM.
