I don't have the most experience in PC building. What can I do to upgrade this PC to make it run like a dream? I love playing FPS online and I want to have a fast PC. My MOBO is only compatible with a few top of line CPU's. I want to know if I should upgrade my MOBO? Also I just purchased this GPU so would it be a good idea to run two of them and do I have enough power to run both SLI? I only have about $1500 to upgrade my PC. So what would be the first things I should do to get my PC running up to date?

What I am running right now.

Tower--Ninja (478x260x540mm)
ASUS Crosshair 940 pin motherboard (Nvidia chipset board)
AMD Athlon 64
x2 dual core 5600+ 2.91 ghz
XfX Geforce 9800 GTX + 512 DDr3
ValueSelect---4 gb
372 gb harddrive
Rocketfish 550w power supply
Vista 32bit


Any input would be greatly appreciated.

thank you
