I'm currently sitting pretty with this:
Intel Core i5-650 @ 3.2 GHz (dual core physical, virtual quad)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Some shitlord 350w psupply
What I want to know is, what sort of FPS boost would I get by getting a new motherboard with an i5-4670 and a power supply that isn't complete garbage?
I'm getting 100 fps-ish in CS:GO and TF2 right now on average at mids.

With a Radeon HD 7970 and 4770K @ 4.2GHz, my TF2 framerate in full pubs usually never drops below 85 on max settings. I'd imagine you'll see a nice boost as dual cores can easily be maxed out by games these days, and newer Intel Core processors have gained roughly 10% per-core performance each generation. You have a first generation Core i-series CPU and we are on the fourth as of June, so you should be making a good investment.

Ummm... I would check your processor. I'm running a non-OCed 3570k and a 7950 and I never drop below 150ish on max settings in full pubs.

Yeah, I agree with Sim. I have an FX-6300 (@4.2Ghz) and a 7870 Ghz and I rarely go below 100fps in pubs on max settings. I do have ragdolls off but you should be performing significantly better, Jstn.

i5 3570 @ stock and gtx 660 i get 250 constant with max settings in csgo on 1024x768. 32 man pubs no lower than 150

I got ~125 FPS average in the demo from the TF2 benchmarks thread some time ago: http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/7598-tf2-benchmarks
It's pretty much been this way from my first i7 (2600K) and my 3770K and now my 4770K with three different ASRock mid-tier Z chipset motherboards and different Win7 and Win8 installs (still using Win7 since January 2013). I play at 120 FPS VSYNC on my ASUS VG236H and get that most of the time, but any kind of action with ~18+ players causes it to creep down into the 100s and even the 90s or 80s in rare cases, and that's with shadows disabled sadly. It's been forever since I messed around with my autoexec but it's based on Chris' max quality configs if I recall, but they didn't seem to make any difference with my FPS.
CPU/GPU temps are great, both have stable overclocks and don't throttle. Maybe MSI Afterburner/HWInfo64/RivaTunerStatisticsServer (to display clock speeds and temperatures in an overlay in-game) are adding some frame latency, but I dunno.
