I need to upgrade and was wondering how much would it cost me for a good 939 sli mobo, a CPU, I have a gig of 3200 a hard drive and a CD-RW drive and a case and PSU. My case has 2 front fan slots, a side fan slot and a rear fan slot all 80mm should I get a new case? I also have an Audigy 2 ZS so how much would I have to dish out to have a system like this.

939 CPU (need)
SLi mobo (need)
1 gig of 3200 (I already have it) Corsair 2/512
Audigy 2 ZS (I already have it) I think it is still a decent sound card
pci-e video (need) can buy pci and save for better video later
Hard Drive (I already have it)
Optical drive (I already have it) want a DVD Drive though
Case (I already have it) do I need a better one fan noise doesn't matter that much
PSU (I already have) its a Rosewill 450w it is actually pretty good although I will not be using it. Reccomend one

I don't have a problem using FS/FT also should I wait till M2 or whatever it is?

1500-2000, depending on the grade of each part...we really need more specifics than that.
 
SLI mobo runs approx $150.

Your biggest factor is your choice of processors and vid cards.

Cheap proccie will run you $120'ish for a 3000 level up to $1,000 for top end FX/X2 etc
Cheap vid-card will run you $50 for a 6200ish up to $500 for the 7800GTX (or appropriate ATI offering.

See, now we have a price range of $150 + $50 + $120 = $320 all the way to $150 + $1000 + 500 = $1650.

We need more info obviously.
