Is it worth the upgrade?

Okay so for my bday im getting myself some new upgrades. currently I have a AMD x3 triple core @ 2.1 ghz, and a xfx 9800 gt. Will upgrading to a x4 955 and a sapphire 4870 be worth it? And will that setup last me a good while?

You will notice a decent performence boost if yoo go from a 9800gt to a HD4870 512mb/1gigbut it would prolly be better to get a more modern card like a HD 5770 1 gig or what stated above a HD 5850

I guess the cpu will be a good purchase if the speed is significantly higher than your current 2.1 ghz, but I have no idea how fast the cores are on the suggested one. GPU wise like the others have said it might be best to get a dx11 one or just wait for the price to come down on those as well.
