The 3 items you listed.. yes do upg those; and that would mean upg your motherboard as well. (And PSU), so thats 5 things.

I dont know to much about prices in england, but go AMD, and keep the price of the CPU, and Mobo around the same.
If your PSU is over 800watts, no need to change that.
Aim for a better graphics card, unless you know some-one with the exact same card you have, and see if you can buy it cheap off them (To SLI); otherwise, change that.

DVD player, yes, just put that into your new PC.
