Its the time of year where I itch to upgrade my pc. This year I'm thinking of doing a bit of a leap in my upgrading. Right now....I am LOOKING at buying these four items...

Mobo

CPU

Ram

Video Card

My only concern that I'm having right now is the fact that I couldn't crossfire with the Mobo, but being a realist...I don't see myself buying a 2nd video card....unless its tax time next year.

Now...what would I use this for?
Games like CoD, Dragon Age and free mmos
Photoshop dabbles
miscellaneous things online

I'm curious if you think these components would hold me over for a few years as far as games go. As of now I can play the games that are out...but certain scenes in CoD Black Ops for example....are about 10FPS. Pretty much anything I do buy will be an improvement. Also if you happen to see another Mobo or item thats better with in a 10-15 dollar difference I would love to KNOW. I have the know how to put the PARTS together, but not a lot of product experience. This would only be the 3rd or 4th time I have upgraded my stuff.

another question....in an effort to save money...if I stayed with my current GPU [geforce 9400 GT 1gb on board ram] Do you think I will be able to play this years games with out so much lag that gameplay is unbearable?

In case you are curious, my current specs are

Windows 7
ECS Geforce 7050M-M
Athlon 64 X2 Dual CORE 5200+ 2.7
2gbs ddr2 ram
geforce 9400 gt 1gb ddr2
