My main use is gaming and programming coursework for my CS degree. I am using two 1920x1080 monitors at the moment.

Thanks!

Your system is still fairly good, could change the hard drive to the Samsung F3 1tb and perhaps a ssd for a boot drive.

Another option is to wait until Jan 9th and look for the new Sandy Bridge form Intel.

As RJC says current setup is ok, if you want to prepare for a new system you could invest in new case n psu, and new hdd, either the f3 as above or you could go for a SSD
Edit: if you want to spend money you could get a new gfx card too infact, depends how much of your 600 you want to spend really

Can I make an improvement on these choices?

SSD

Hard-Drive

Also, it is worth splashing out on a case I can keep for years to come such as a Corsair 800D?
