Just Upgraded to I7 920 - What Do You Think?

After much debate I finally decided to upgrade.

My current rig is a midrange AMD 64 x2 5200+, 6gb RAM, 2 WD Black 1TB, and a ATI 4890.

I only upgraded the cpu/mobo/ram and also got an Intel SSD (will use the WD's for storage now). What do you guys think? Should I see a noticeable improvement, and am I missing anything crucial? This is my first ever intel system - always been an AMD dude.

Here's What I got:

Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128375

CPU i7 920 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115202

RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231304

Intel SSD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167016
