If I was you, I would save what cash you were going to spend on upgrading, and just upgrade the entire set up.

I've never played Darkfall so I can't comment, but I run World of Warcraft full settings at 1680 x 1050 and I still lag sometimes, so unless you're going to put up front £500 for a half decent system it's not worth upgrading components that will only be dated again in 6 Months.
Componants do not go out of date in 6 months at all just newer models come out. I built a machine in excess of 2 or more years ago that would still stand up well now

E6600 2 gig Geil ddr 6400 Asus P5W deluxe Raptor HDD and a 8800GTS 640 meg. The GFX would be the weakest link but more than capable o pwning World of Wallpaper

The CPU in the "dated" machine is dual core 2 gig plus per core. I remember the 939 chips fondly
