depends on what you want. If you want bragging rights no. Otherwise yes.

If you really feel you need to upgrade something, change the grafics card to ati x1900xt (is that the right places for the x's, they are all over the place just cinfusing me) or similar.

I personally would wait for an dx 10, but i'm not sure when the come out, especially with vista being delayed (again) ...

___________

when you upgrade? easy, when you fell that everything takes too long, when you get too low frame rates in games, etc.

Looks good :-D

You can always upgrade later when prices drop.

Have you heard that Nvidea is planning on creating drivers that will allow SLI systems to use extra GPU cycles to do the same job as the Physics card? something to consider!

This system will last you well into Vista, I would wait about 1 year then start shopping. Save your lunch money and go with a good quad core CPU if you can afford it paired with a good graphics card.

If you are one of those I must be able to play this game at 2054X1900 or some ungodly resolution, at 120 FPS with all the AA turned up full blast, then you may consider a new card today, but my opinion you would be wasting money. Wait for DX10 cards to hit.

My sentiments at least

Thats wat im going to do (i hope) 8)
Thanx
