Hello guys, i bought my system jan 2009 and have enjoyed it since, but now its starting to struggle with games (cpu power guzzlers like Arma 2 ) etc and im looking at upgrading, but would like advice what to upgrade to!

I recently bought an asus TOP direct 460gtx 1gb version, but i think my system is being bottlenecked somehow, if you could spare a minute to look at my system and post what you think parts i should upgrade i would be thankful

intel core 2 duo E8400 wolfdale 3.0
biostar Tpower intel P45 (socket 775)
antec nine hundred Two (V3) case
windows vista home premium
coolmaster real power 7oow modular
ocz gold edition 4gb DDR2 PC2-8599C5 dual channel
tuniq tower 120 LFB cooler

fitted with 460gtx top direct asus,

budget 400 or so not including Gfx card

thanks
 
Ive go vista OEM, ive also got a basic seagate baracuda 7200 brand new...

what i wanted to know is my current spec bottlenecking at all ? should i just go for one of the ocuks bundles ?
 
I did overclock it to 3.8 a year ago... but ended up putting it back to stock!

When i buy my new parts,should i just chuck the old, or are there people looking for older parts like these ?

and yes im looking at building myself... im looking at keeping my base case etc! just need a new mobo, processor ram etc
