People on this board would be able to help you much more if you were more specific in what you use your computer for. The more specific you are the better they'll be able to help you.
Gaming? If so what games?
Work Station? If so what software?
What do you plan on doing on your computer in the future?

I use the computer primarily for gaming, and secondary as a work computer. I want to be able to run crysis aswell as other DX10 titles that will be coming out in the near future. I would say that i have a nice budget for upgrading. I definetly could afford an 8800ultra some nice ram, a couple 500g hd's another 2gb ram.. so I'ts realy not how much money I can afford, but rather what I should put it towards.

Thanks for all your help
