That rig will do you fine for a few years yet,
although it of course depends on what you view as 'acceptable' performance, people still run P4's remember
I'd say keep that as it is and save whatever you can for a killer system next year

^agreed.

There are some exciting new products/architectures coming out just on the horizon. Sandy Bridge for Intel and Bulldozer for AMD, plus gen 3 SSD's. Right now is not a great time to build/upgrade. Hang on for a while with your current setup and start saving for a new build next year.

Realize that in the tech industry there is always "something better" coming soon, but every once in a while some things come up that are worth waiting for.
