It's better to use create a new rig instead of just listing it. Follow ACHILEE5's link "How to put your rig in your sig".

Also what will this be used for?

But anyway, what you put is fine I guess.

IMO, your rig is still quite good. if you really want to upgrade now, then you'll have to replace both the Mobo and the CPU. New architecture, new sockets... An LGA1155 Ivy Bridge Setup should be fine.
