Not sure what to upgrade for $300

[Guest]

Hey all,
Here is what I have:
e6700
p6n Platinum 650i board - MSI
8800gt oc - MSI
couple of 350g hard drives (7600s)
antec 900 case
600w PS
creative titanium sound card
running dual monitors - 22"widescreen and a 19"crt
4g corsair ram
xp pro (w7 on pre-order)

I use my computer for games and movies. I've got about 300 bones to spend. I figure I will have another 300 around Christmas for upgrade 2. I play MMOs and first person shooters (COD4, WOW and TOR when it comes out). I overclock but I definitely do not push the limits.

I would suggest upgrading your video card first. When you get your other 300 i would upgrade to a quad core.

I'd suggest this card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150330

Not a bad price on that 260....

If you're going to upgrade something there then yeah... video card. You may just want to hold off though... wait till you get that other 300, then go from there.

for real hold out so u can make the best decision based on the 600, the 5800 series dx11 should be comming out and i5 which will see 775 cpus fall in price to meet i3 price req

You should definitely hold out for at least a little while longer. You're bound to see not only new tech come out in Q3/Q4, but price cuts.
