GPU: AMD XFX 6950 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... ($239 USD)

However, if you need a larger Hard drive.... or if you are using all 4 gigs of RAM with your tasks, then I will adjust accordingly.

What exactly do you want to see in terms of performance? Are you wanting everything to be faster, or more emphasis on gaming? What tasks do you do with the computer?i do little WoW on it and more on surfing and school works.. my hard drive is fine but would like it to boot with ssd. thanks.
Best solution
Okay, then I shall change it up. Here is what I recommend:
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2 90 GB (boot and programs only) $145 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
GPU: Sapphire AMD 6850 $145
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
CPU: AMD 955 BE $125
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Total: $415.
This shouldn't be final, there is room to toy around with the SSD and GPU.
Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit windows?

Awesome. Then you should be set with RAM. But if you ever wanted to upgrade that, its cheap as hell. $32 for the same set of RAM you have now. - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Also, I made some tweaks.
SSD: Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Delux. $140 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...).
Everything else is the same.
