Ok I have little extra cash and am trying to decide if i should upgrade or wait a little longer. My current system specs;

AMD X2 4400+ (939 not AM2)
Abit Crossfire System Board
2 Gigs DDR memory
ATI X1800XT video card

I have the normal assortment of sound card, dvd burners and hard drive but these items are all newer and can migrate to a new system. My question is what is the best upgrade to make? Currently am I better of upgrading my video card, and waiting on the processor system board and cpu; or upgrade those items and hold off on the video card?

The other real question is should I just hold off on any upgrades right now, with the phenom processors around the corner and end of year gpu line refreshes? thanks in advance for any suggestions/ advice.
 
What do you need to improve? If you need better gaming performance, you'll be best served by a videocard upgrade. If you need better overall performance (encoding, running batch files, etc), upgrade your cpu/mobo/ram. It really depends on what you need. What did you notice slowing down on your system?

Also, is that 4400+ OC'd? If not, OC it!
