Basically just a small upgrade. See sig for other components.
Oh by the way getting 24" mon aswell.

Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX
HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB GDDR5

Or shall I get the 280GTX

I'd say only the graphics card is worthwhile.

i agree the velociraptor isn't great..

perhaps go SSD

gary996 · 17 Aug 2008 at 20:58

OCZ Core 128GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive

Like I said, its the only one I'd consider out of your list of upgrades. Although I'm unsure you need a Radeon HD4870X2 for most games at 1920x1200...I guess if you're planning to keep it a while it makes sense.
