The rig is fairly balanced as is, but likely best at 2 year old games....
I'd be hesitant to dump more money into just a new video card (GTX460-1GB) where you might still end up CPU bound (but might be happy with higher res performance with decent settings), but, that would likely be your best bang for your buck, barring just saving/waiting for a new DDR3/i7-2500K based rig....
