Well with all the new graphics cards and i7 cores coming out what would be your next upgrade with my current set up...

CPU Q6600 overlcocked to 3.2 GHZ 1425 FSB ( Prime 95 stable 24 hours )
Ram 4 GB of OCZ Platinum DDR 2 ( Currently running at 445 MHZ 5-5-5-15 )
Mobo Asus P5W DH Deluxe i975X chipset
Video 9800 GX2 running at 700 core/1100 Memory/1700 shaders
H.D Western Digitial Raptor 74 GB 8mb Cache/ back up 200 GB Maxtor 11 16mb Cache
sound Fatality X-fi Platinum sound card.
Cooling Cool it Free Zone Elite cooler for CPU
Drives LG Lightscribe burner 18X, Pioneer 16X burner
Monitor Mutisync GX2 19" monitor
Keyboard G15 Keyboard/ G7 laser mouse
Speakers Logitech 5300 5.1 speakers


Is there any glaring weak spots??? Bang for my buck what would you recommend or do I wait for nex generation parts ex, Dx 11 cards , 8 core chips????

Thanks for the help

Dave

Your build looks fine. I would say that your GPU is serious overkill for that monitor. That's where I'd spend my money.

^agreed a monitor with a higher res would give you the best improvement
