I would say your current system is pretty good. Bring it up to 2 gigs and throw in a nice video card and you should be all set.



Here is a DX10 card. If you wait for AMD/ATI to come out with their new cards and Nvidia to bring out some more variations of the 8800 then you might be able to still get a good card but cheaper.

The 8800GTS will cost you a bundle here in Canada. Caamsa didn't look at your location, since Newegg doesn't ship outside the U.S.

A GTS and 512 of RAM is about all you can do. Your CPU might bottleneck you a bit, but it's the best you'll do without replacing the mobo and CPU, which will be WAY over your budget.

Check out etailer Direct Canada, they have the BEST prices on the GTS in Canada, plus you won't pay PST since they're in B.C. AND on top of that, you'll get free shipping for orders over $300. That all together will save you some good cash toward your budget.

It must be able to run games like crisis.

It Must have 4 GPUs and eight-core CPUs

XD - I would actually wait until the mid-range 8600s...
