I'm upgrading, but not specifically for SH5. I'm big into Oblivion, too... and some of the mods I've been running are CPU hungry. I work for a fairly large retail chain doing tech work, so I get to reap the benefits by collecting Intel hardware on the cheap.
Going from a Dual Core E6300 @ 1.86 GHz to a Core i7 860; from 3 GB to 4 GB of memory. I'll stick with the 9600GT for right now, though I might grab a GTS 250 in a few months if the system goes GPU limited.
