I agree your rig right now with those clocks are good and an upgrade to an intel duo core @ 4ghz is not going to bring you big big improvements that you would expect.
You have 2 options: 1) Go for a Q9550 + an eVGa 7 series FTW mobo 2) wait for the new chips to be released in a month or so. Hope that clears up your questions about upgrading to what you currently have.

I'd say nothing now.
I also have around $400 saved up for upgrades, I'm waiting for the new Intel chips and motherboards. new cpu, mobo, and a bunch of DDR3

__________________*edit* sorry that post was not constructive... i like the e8400 E0 idea, but tbh i do agree with those who are saying save for the new lineups...unless you are crazy into benching (in which case you should get a quad anyway) or just obsessed with 4GHz (hey it's addicting  ) then you aren't going to be getting a good deal price/performance wise.

Ehhh that is weird because Nvidia claims the 750i chipset to be 2x8.

Well if Nvidia claims that the 750i boards are only 2x8 wouldn't that mean the drivers are designed to be 2x8 and not 2x16? So wouldn't this mean you're paying the extra money to buy a 2x16 board but you'r limited to 2x8 because of the drivers?
