You do not "have to" upgrade anything.

If you want i7, then you will need to replace CPU, motherboard, and RAM.

I'd stick with that setup for a while longer, it's very decent. +1 for what Proximon said, unless you want an aftermarket cpu cooler too.

I have Q9450, 8800GT, Striker II extreme

I wont upgrade because i7 sounds worthless to me. Lets wait for improved nehalem @ 32nm
