Current Specs:
Biostar MCP6P M2+ AM2+ MOBO (Capacitors on this are actually nice, I Know its a cheaper Motherboard but it works!.)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.0ghz Overclocked to 2.90ghz <---- Need I Say More?
2gb DDR2-800 Ram <--- although Mobo Does Support up to DDR2-1066 4gb
ATI Radeon HD x2600 XT 256mb GDDR4 256-Bit OC Edition <--- REALLY Needs an Upgrade Now..
120gb SSD w/ 320gb 7200rpm WD Blue HDD
Pixxo 500w PSU <-- Do I Even Need to say?
Cheap PC Case <-- Just No.

4gb DDR2-800 Ram (Friend is sending 2 2gb Sticks!)

Parts Not Required: Keyboard (Although I Would like a better one, but not required), Mouse (I Have Cyborg R.A.T. 7), Monitor, CPU (Friend is sending the 3750+), Ram (Unless I Should goto DDR2-1066), Motherboard (UNLESS Its Necessary), DVD Drive (Although Bluray would be cool, its definitely not needed.).
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, eBay
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: nVIDIA, AMD, Western Digital, Crucial, OCZ
Overclocking: Yes, Although I Am Novice.

Additional Comments: I'm looking to future proof my PC for at least another 4 years, I know thats a long time, But By then I Will have graduated and have a job to Buy something better. I Just dont want to worry about buying another PC for at least that long. Keep In Mind I Will be using it for Gaming. I Want to play on Very High/Extra/ Just Maxed. After about 2 years I Wont mind if on newer games I have to play a notch down though. I Already Have A CPU, Ram, Motherboard, Display, Keyboard, Monitor, Harddrive (although I Do feel mine will be failing within the 4 year time frame), I Also Own an SSD, and a DVD Drive.
Want I Want to Upgrade is my GPU, POSSIBLY HDD but again I do have a 120gb SSD, and it definitely needs a quality psu, And I Want a nice case, my current case is just a cheap one. I Have $600 To Blow on upgrades because I sold my MacBook Pro (Early 2008).
