E4500 is a massive upgrade mate O_o...

I'd go with this upgrade path, E4600 + 8800GT. Factual sorces have stated that it runs faster than a GTS and is cheaper, however its stock cooling system is dreadful, I reckon something like a VF1000 would do justice to this though.

If you are on a tight budget, go for a VX450W PSU, even though its rated at "450W", this PSU is far more powerful than that, it will support your upgraded setup very nicely (and quietly as well).
