Naw dude, IMO you're fine til next year, probably. If you wanted to, you could spring for the Phenom's or new DDR3 stuff, but You have a pretty high end rig that will do well until next year, then it becomes midrange.
The 650i isn't bad, but I think that you will only get 8X speed if you use SLI, while on the 680i / 680i LT you get the normal 16X PCI-E speeds. I may be wrong though. If you don't use SLI, then it's solid, but have you checked the 680i LT prices?
I think that system can run most games on fairly high settings. Not Supreme Commander, or Rainbow Six. But Battlefield 2 for sure, HL2, those games will probably be maxed out.
