Very solid system... I would recommend going to at least 3.6 GHz if temps/system permit, which is the "sweet spot" for processors speeds, anything over that you really don't see much gain in real-world performance.
Your next steps after that to gain performance is to add a SSD to increase HDD performance more and upgrade to the ATI 5000 series cards in October for better performance.
I don't see you really needing to add or change anything within the next 9 to 12 months, which by then the 4870x2 may start to be your bottleneck in games... believe it or not with more and more DX11 games released by that time. -

Ah okay, so
First - OC CPU to 3.6ghz
Second - Get an SSD, Which would you recommend? ( im not as rich as i may sound lol )
Its hard to believe a 4870x2 will actually be a bottleneck for games lol. -
Corsair P128 (CMFSSD-128GBG2D) 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Retail
or
OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Retail
You'll need this for either one... ICY DOCK MB882SP-1S-1B 2.5" to 3.5" SSD & SATA Hard Drive Converter - Black - Retail
edit: Yeah.... at one time I thought it would be hard to believe my 8800GT would be a bottleneck too... but with time... all that were once great... become obsolete!!
