what would you upgrade on my rig?

im thinking at a later date (near christmas) upgrading to a e8400 or if theres an affordable 45nm Quad then upgrading to quad core.

i wont be upgrading my 8800GT for a long time to come :)

what would you upgrade though?
 
I wouldn't upgrade anything right now. Your processor is perhpas the weakest link, but overclocked it won't hold you back at all.
 
maybe your mobo and like you said your processor.. other than that it looks pretty good to me

uh?

thats definatly a no no....its DDR3 compatiable,45nm compatiable and has the intel p35 chipset.
there would be no point whatsoever upgrading it.
but thanks for replying :)

yeah thanks,like i said not yet maybe around xmas time then i might consider it :)
 
Sound? If you only have a 2 channel setup then I would definitely upgrade for a 2.1 or a 5.1 setup.

A better processor would also be what I would say too.
 
Upgrade to the GTS G92 ;) $215 at Newegg.

its not realy worth the upgrade from a 8800GT to a GTS,the GTS is not that much powerfuller if you compare them to each other in Gpu review.

if i was going to upgrade my gfx card at a later date it would probably be something like a 9800 GX2 or a newer ATI card.

im pretty sure my onboard high definition is 5.1,But i only use 2.1 speakers.
good enough for me.

like you said i think if i upgrade anything it will be the processer and maybe the ram at a later date.

cheers guys :)
 
RAM seems fine. To me, seeing that the CPU is overclocked, the RAM is at a... good speed, and you have a large hard drive and very nice GFX, I think everything's fine, although CPU would be 1st on the list if I were you.
