@zeest if u decide to keep proccy , do u intend to change it within 8-9 months ? otherwise , u'll be restricted to c2d's wolfdale . the nehalem proccy's wont support xfx 650i or abit ip35 .. .and do consider 8800GT . but u'll need a psu costing about 3.5k for that card.

you have to decide two things so that we can help you without confusing you with too many options.
1. buying card now and changing proccy later OR going for amd as dominator suggested
2. if u will buy proccy later , when will that be and a rough idea of what u're budget will be later.

if u intend to upgrade proccy after a year and choose to go to nehalem , there is no point in changing mobo now.

if u're budget will be restricted for the next buy , AND/OR if u upgrade within a year , xfx 650i or abit ip35 now + ur existing proccy will be good.
