DONT upgrade now. Wait for AMD Phenom II. Phenom II 940 is as fast as Q9550 (or atleast faster or equal to Q9450). It has an advantage that motherboards are damn cheap and expansion slots are plenty.

OR, you can get Phenom II 925. It can overclock a lot.

And for mobo, get a 790GX mobo for 6.3K. Has great OC capabilities with SB750 southbridge and supports CROSSFIREX and also has onboard graphics.

Get 4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM, it wouldn't affect speed much over 2GB DDR3 1066 RAM, rather, it would increase performance in some 3D and Imaging applications. And it has better latencies.

Use the Rs. 3000 odd you save by getting DDR2 instead of DDR3 RAM to get a better graphics card - I suggest Palit HD4850 Sonic. Would cost Rs. 1,500 more than 9800GT. Much Much better performance.

And remaining money saved can be used for a good cooling solution for PC.

Just wait till January end for it to reach India.
