help me with my upgrade (intel)

[blarf]

hey, i'd like to upgrade my MB, proc and memory mainly for gaming plus some office work

I'd like a core 2 duo or quad core.
memory, i've got my eyes on the g.skil for $115 (4gb)
MB....no clue

Budget......around $400-450....maybe $500

I cannot for the life of me fathom why you need to upgrade for gaming/office work. If you must upgrade, I'd look at a more powerful graphics card at the moment.

You already have a nice computer. Is there anything your current rig is not capable of?

if you want to overclock your processor, throw in a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler w/ Scythe S-FLEX 120mm Case Fan

*you should have a 64-bit operation system (xp or vista) as 32-bit can only use up to 3.2gb of RAM or so.
*realize that there's new processors coming out in a few months.
