Well at the moment I have

AMD 3700+ S754 64bit
X800 XT PE (AGP)
2GB Corsair pc3200
Asus K8VSE Deluxe Mobo
Raid 0 for games and a lot of space for photos ;)

Anyways what is the best way to upgrade?

Im currently thinking of getting a 20" widescreen TFT instead of my 19" CRT (the really nice iiyama one), water cooling and changing the case and possibly the PSU.

Now for the rest of the setup is it worth upgrading all of it or changing the mobo and GPU for nicers ones? Currently using 4 Sata's and two IDE's so need a mobo to support that as well as upgrading the gpu? Maybe the X1800XT....or is this not worthwhile for newer games?
 
How much money do you have? If you have plenty then you may as well get a new system [selling your current system could generate a bit of cash too].

If a whole new system is out of the question then probably a new mobo and gfx. The X1800s are nice cards and aren't out of date just yet :)

Only thing is you have a socket 754 cpu so you may consider a newer 939 or even AM2 board/cpu... but again thats practically a new system.

You just have to look at how much you're willing to spend, hard to help otherwise.
