I'm not actually considering upgrading anything. There is just that small part of you that thinks oh great now I'm obsolete. It's like getting passed on the highway, it shouldn't matter but somehow you feel like this person is questioning your manhood, how dare they pass you.

For me I would look at an SSD long before upgrading motherboard and cpu. I think an SSD is about the only thing that would show a really noticeable improvement in overall performance.
