Good Upgrade or Not ?

[DRSPAZZ]

This is my first post, plz do not call me a n00b, flame me, tell me that dell sucks, or that intel sucks. cuz i know you really want to, but to be honest this system can play games well, it can play fear at high detail and everything, so its not bad, except i just want that bit more performance.

At the moment, i own a dell 9150

Specs:
Intel Pentium D 830
Standard Dell Motherboard
Creative X-fi Extreme Music
Ati x600 with hypermemory
1gb ddr2 ram
Maxtor 160gb Harddrive
450w Powersupply
19" Tft monitor
2 Speakers and a Bass
Wireless Keyboard and mouse
1 #$@$ of a heatsink for the cpu
1 Cool gold ram Cooling thing
a lot of messy wires
2 years warranty that i intend to destroy
Cd/dvd/rw drive
Media Card Reader

After Upgrade

Intel Pentium D 830
Asus P5nd2-Sli Deluxe
600w Hiper powersupply
1 Gb ddr2 Ram with 2 Cool gold heatsinks
160gb Maxtor harddrive
1 Geforce 7900gtx
Coolermaster Praetorian (Black)
Dell 19" tft monitor
New Wireless Keyboard and mouse
Big cpu heatsink, (i have already tried water cooling, it was fun but was expensive and tended to not work as well as i hoped it would )

Tossed out the sound card? Or sold it?

Got room/$$ for more RAM? Might as well...you're going to get a 7900GTX...
