Difficult to know what to advise on the motherboard. I had a read through the linked review and while performance-wise your board wasn't as fast as the others tested, the difference in numbers terms looked fairly negligible.
edit: heres a quote from the review:
"We have already pointed out many times that all mainboards run almost equally fast in nominal mode. This is quite natural and expected, as the boards work in identical conditions. But still, even though the performance difference is truly minor, I believe it is fair that Intel DH55TC is mostly the last one in this race: it is th slowest of the three."
They also talk about it lacking features - if you're finding that you are notmissing out on anything at the moment, then those are features you probably don't need.
Personally, I'd probably just stick with it and upgrade the processor.
I agree with Swiss: the i7 860/870 (hyperthreading 4 core) would be a big jump up.
There is also the Core i5 760 2.80GHz (no hyperthreading 4 core) which is well thought of for gaming purposes and is a fair bit cheaper.
