I think he's talking about dollars ;p
I have same specs. Already 2+ yrs old but still does quite well in pretty much all games on the market. Not seen any reason to update yet. So i bought a nice 24" lcd. If you like to do rendering or compiling I suppose buying a new quad core proc might be a good idea. (FF only uses one core though, l4d uses more) |

Your system already being decent i would either go Quad Core, or Dual SLI
or, buy a blue ray rom and stick that in there. Just for shits and giggles. |

Spend that cash on games. Your computer should run every game out right now with no problem. I don't see the point in upgrading. Should actually put the hardware you have now that is fine to good use. :P

9800GTX+
4gb of ram You could probably get both for in the ~200ish range. Have you considered getting more storage? They have TB drives as low as 100 bucks now... |
