If I were to get a better motherboard, say one based on the 650i, would it increase general performance noticeably, or does motherboard not make much of a difference?

Depends on your other components, but yes a good mobo will make a world of difference in OCing and benching, also overall system performance.
Do not get a 650i.... if your going to upgrade, P35 or X38/48 is the only way to go now, unless your looking for SLI then 680i/780i or wait for 790i, as 780i is only a 680i with a new MCP to support better quad OCing, and Tri-SLI.
