Looks like I need a new MB and CPU.....

I have a E3400 OC from 2.166 t 3.000ghz.
I went away for 10days and left the computer on, 3 of the 4 fans failed and she heated up.
Now I am having problems with USB ports losing and aquiring, also having problems with jerky motions and video spikes.
I have the side panel off and an extra fan I had laying around pulling the air out but it is not running cool enough. Core temps are running a bit warm for non clocking CPU, right around 57-60c.

So this is what I would like to do.

Replace the 3 failed fans in my case, it is a Antec 182, which 120mm fans should I look at buying?

the current MB is a Asus P5N, I would like to replace it with another Asus board but I have little knowledge of what to get so I could use your help here?

I do want to upgrade the CPU to a 8400, 8500 or 8600 so please add your coments also?

Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS is the current video card, I am unsure if the card needs to be replaced at this time but i welcome your suggestions on a replacement?

I do a little gaming and flight simulating so I thought I better say it.
