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...
