More Information

I built my first PC about 3 months ago for $2500 including a replacement mobo and Windows XP Pro SP2. What I want to know is how long do I have on this setup before I have to rebuild?

Here's what I have:

HDD's: 1x Western Digital Raptor 74gb ADFD SATA 1.5gb/s, 2x Western Digital Caviar SE 250gb SATA 3gb/s

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Skt 939

MOBO: ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce 4 SLi Skt 939

RAM: 2gb Kingston Value RAM CAS Latency 2.5-3-3-6

VGA: BFG GeForce 7900GTX OC'ed 512mb

DVD Drive: Lite-On Dual Layer DVD Drive w/ Lightscribe

FDD: Samsung 3.5" 1.44mb FDD

Sound Card: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 4

Tower: Thermaltake Tsunami ATX Mid tower

PSU: PC Power & Cooling 510w (650w max) Turbo Cool SLi

Scores a 9350 in 3DMark05 and a 5942 in 3DMark06.

Would like to get a timeline to upgrade if possible and no "Upgrade to C2D" comments please :) .
