Ok, so i have $400 coming in. What should i do with it??? My current specs:

Amd Athlon 6000+ x2 @3.0GHZ
Asus M2a-VM
Kingston HyperX 533 2gb
9600 GT factory overclocked

Actually, i think i'm pretty solid on my computer. I was thinking about a nice sound system or new monitor screen. My current screen is an unknown brand name (v7??) 19in that we got for less than $100 at Fry's. The only comfortable viewing i can get from that screen is 1024x768.

What should i do???
 
If i do actually get a sound system, i think i need to upgrade my sound card......

EDIT: Its 7.1 enabled. I'm good.
 
i would
get a sli MOBO
get another 9600GT
another PSU if needed
an if u still have enough money left over get some DDR2- 800MHz ram
 
Thanks guys, but i really think my computer is good enough for what i do right now. Plus, oi was planning to go dual monitor (in a year or so). So what? I should just go for the z-5500's?
 
yea i might get me a x-fi gamer fatality or something. I already have x-fi xtreme audio...

Hell yea, get an X-Fi Fatal1ty and then get a Fatal1ty Headset, I personally have one and it's awesome. I'm not one to usually go for "professional" gaming stuff as usually it's crap, but the headset is amazing... it's super comfortable and sounds awesome.
 
Thanks alot hellyea526! I think i know what i'm going to do. BTW, i need someone to check if this is ok.

I have this card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150306&Tpk=xfx xxx 9600gt) and i am planning to save up another 100-150 or so and get the monitor that hellyea posted up. That way, i can go dual and also pick up some z-5500.

OMG hellyea, you just took all the ap biology sadness outta me. Man if i was gay.... :P
