What kind of budget ?
An 8 series GPU or the next ATI one would be a good choice if you plan on getting Vista and gaming, when they are realeased.
There isn't anything wrong with it. I could spend £250 on small things that I would like, a tablet for photoshop and Zmodeller (the unlocked version so I can import to it.) If there are things like that, it may be good, but that is really only wasting money.

Personally I'd say it's a bit low. If you offset the cost of what you're buying by selling some of your current kit you could get a bit more for the cash. The only worthwhile thing you could do without selling I'd say would be getting a 2Gb RAM kit, like some GSkill ZX or corsair XMS.
If you want to do any more, I'd save a bit more and wait for AM2 and get a PCI-E graphics card to go with a new motherboard and CPU

I'd upgrade the processer. The 3800+ dual cores are £200 from here now. There great value for money.
