Would thie be a worthwhile upgrade from my current system (see sig for spec)? The plan is that I can later add a second graphics card and double the memory to 8GB. What do you think?

Also I've tried to shave the price down as much as possible as I've just bought a new car so want to try and spend as little as possible, whilst still keeping a worthwile system. If you can see anything I can change for a cheaper part let me know!

Thanks :)

I'd say 600 is ok if you want SLI and a quad core, but not lower than that.
you can save some money by swapping the case with an antec 300.

The plans to add an extra card and double memory later when I can afford it, so I need enought juice to not have to swap the PSU at a later date.
 
in that case I wouldn't go lower than 600.
If you want to save some cash you can always get the non-modular version, just stuff the cables that you don't use in the 5.25 bays like I did. :D

Perhaps a graphics card upgrade if you want more juice for gaming otherwise your spec is still damn good.

A friend's offered me £600 for my tower, so the upgrade will cost me less than £200, so seems worth it to me :D

Anyway I've changed the spec slightly to a 3 way SLI capable board and a 700W PSU (is 700 enough for three way)?

I know it's not a massive upgrade at the min, but the fact I will have two spare memory and two spare graphics slots, leaves me much more room to add to it later. My current system is completely full, so the only realy upgrade I can do is a new graphics card for around £200 :(
