I don't see any issues with your system now, there is not much difference between the 580 and 680 video cards, not enough to warrant an upgrade in my view. If your motherboard is working now, no need to switch to another lower end one. About the only thing that you may want to get is the other 4 gig of RAM, the single stick you are looking at is only good if you have a single stick now. If you have two 2 gig sticks, either get two more 2 gig sticks or get two 4 gig sticks.
