My current rig is in my sig.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

- On a budget.
- Will play a lot of World of Warcraft.
- Has to be able to run Crysis, Hellgate: London, UT2K7, ET: Quake Wars & Bioshock at 1024x768 at least and get decent performance.
- Would like to upgrade to a ~8600 GT when they are released.
- I want to buy a widescreen LCD and play WoW at 1680x1050.
- Will upgrade to a dual core in a year or less.

What are my options?

Thank you :)
 
Your current system should run WoW just fine and dandy. Everything else you listed hasn't been released yet.

Since you didn't state what your budget is, I'll just say to wait. The system you have runs fine now for what you use it for and anything you can upgrade to now will be cheaper when those games you want to play at high-res come out.
 
1) Yeah I know those games are not out yet, I just wanted to give a general guideline as to what the upgrade should allow me to do.

2) I was thinking around $300 Canadian. CPU + memory. The memory for all the characters on-screen and the CPU because WoW is CPU intensive. Maybe an A64 3800+ and 1GB of the kit I already have (total of 4x 512MB). I read though that I'd actually lose performance with 4x 512MB... So I'm not so sure.

3) Think WoW will be fine at 1680x1050 with a 6600 GT? Was thinking of grabbing an LG L204WT.
