Its a bit of work but you might consider:

Sell your motherboard (you should be able to get about $75 for it)

Buy:

750i SLI Motherboard (asus P5N-D open box at newegg is $95)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131232R

A second 8800GT for SLI (there are a number of members here selling them for $100)

Corsair 650W power supply (about $105)

That leaves you with about $75 to cover taxes and shipping charges. With whats left, pick up a decent cpu cooler (OCZ vendetta 2 for example)

A pair of 8800GT in sli with your cpu at 3.2 will give you a very solid increase in performance. With a better cpu cooler, you could likely hit 3.6 with your chip. All you need to do is sell your board
