Worth an upgrade?

[Dynix]

Hi there,

Just wondering if it's worth upgrading anything (probably just looking for reasons to spend money). The only thing I can really think of is a GPU upgrade, or replacing my ageing IDE HDD's?

Current system specs:

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6600 @ 2.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12F
RAM: GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
Graphics: 8800GTS 320MB
Monitor: Samsung SM-226BW 22"
HDDs: 1 x 320GB SATA-II, 2 x 200GB IDE
PSU: 580W or 620W (Can't remember the make)
Keyboard: Razer Tarantula
Mouse: Logitech G7
Case: Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS II​

Cheers

Get a aftermart cooler and clock that Core2Duo. Yeah and do away with IDE once and for all.

Sorry for my stupidity, what is meant by aftermart?

I've got a Noctua NH-U12F if that helps (just added it to my original post )

Yep the Noctua NH-U12F is an aftermart cooler.

Clock the E6600 up a bit, should be able to reach 3.2GHz+ pretty easily.

Will do

Think I'll look into getting 2 x 500GB SATA's then for a starter

Eyed up a pair of these: Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache

Anyone have any other suggestions?
