Upgrade Advice please

I am looking at throwing some more money at my pc as i havent upgraded anything in a while. I have got about £200 coming at the end of september, and as it is the first month in 5 months where i aint got any driving lessons i wanna get something!

Anyway. My current pc is in my sig below. I normally use the pc just for browsing forums and on msn, but i do sometimes play games when the gf asks me to.

Open to any suggestions

EDIT: I also like to overclock things....a lot

For games you could upgrade to a 4870. Depends what hdds you have too. Or a bigger monitor. The rest is all good

monitor is fine for me at the minute. it is just the right size for my desk

Also a 4850 would be cheaper. Would perform very well on your monitor.

Would be hard pressed to notice a difference between the 4870 and 4850 at your res.

Get a decent heatsink, possibly new ram and clock that Q6600!

Swap to either a 4850 or 4870 and if not running already get a 64 bit operating system.
