I may be wrong, but with your current system you are already good for at least a year if all you play is DX9 games... The only thing which could and should be improve IMHO is the RAM, but besides that I don't understand why you wanted a quad core.

So, I figure it would be best for you stick to what you have, maybe add a gig or 2(if you want to reuse it in a future build, but then again it might not be adviseable... still unsure of what I'd do in your case tho)... Then of course you can get yourself a nice monitor a 22 or a 24 inches which you will definitively keep for your next system.

But one thing is sure, by then you'd actually give it a bit of time for some considerably more powerful CPU to come out, for some GFX that will be significantly better than yours.
