Hi,

Thinking of getting one of the things listed below:

1. CPU - This is going in the computer in my sig. So will need a CPU, Mobo and Memory. Thinking the E6600 or the E6300, it will be overclocked. As for the mobo really hoping DFI release there R600 board soon.

2. GPU - Upgrade my X1900XT to a 8800GTS or GTX. Only worry is finding a waterblock that will fit, would my Maze 4 fit the 8800?

3. Keyboard - Really like the look of the Logitech Dinovo Edge board. Logitech's customer support is second to none imo so very happy to spend this much on a keyboard as it should last me a nice long time as it also has a 3 year warranty.

So what in your opinion would you buy? The first 2 options mean taking my watercooling to bits which is a pita but if its worth it I will do it
 
How much money do you want to spend and do you have any particular reason for the upgrade? i.e. is your computer slow in performing some tasks or are you just upgrading because you can?
 
Seems to be quite a price difference between those.
6600 + Mobo = around £350-£400
8800 = Around £400
Keyboard I'm guessing is sub £100

Or ya could stretch a little more, buy a DS3, 6300 and 8800GTS for around £500 ;)

If you were just going for one, I'd say the CPU would give the biggest performance boost, but the keyboard may be simpler and provide more "eyecandy".
