Default Crysis/gaming upgrade Help

I have been out of the hardware game for a while now so I was hoping for some advise on upgrading my PC because it doesn't run Crysis very well

At this stage I am looking at getting a Geforce 9800GTX, so that is sorted unless someone has a better idea.

For the best performance in Crysis and other demanding games would I be better off with an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4ghx (Q6600) or an Intel Core 2 Duo 3Ghz (E8400)?

What chipset based mobo should I go for?
