I am currently running a P4 2.4C overclocked to 3.2, and a 9800pro

I have 2 upgrade options:

1 A 3.2E which I should be able to OC to the 3.7-4.0 range coupled with a X800XT for around 500

2 A complete rebuild based around an X2 4400 and 7800GTX for around 1500

So the question is, whats the better option? How much faster would option 2 be vs option 1??

Im running all of this into a Dell 2405FPW, so keep in mind that I am looking to take full advantage of that monitor...with my current setup I cannot.

Any thoughts?

Option 2 is my vote. Although option one is cheaper, I think in very near future it will fall short with upcoming games. Esp. with the high res of the 2405.
 
I vote for the total upgrade. But then I'm an insecure bastard trying to bolster his own decision to upgrade. :D
