Well I have $280+$90 dollars to spend, except I'm not quite sure what to get. I was thinking I should get an A64X2 4400. And maybe a HDD with the rest but I'm not sure what to do to really squeeze as much performance out of that amount of money...Can someone give me a hand in deciding what exactly would be the best thing to do with my system? I'll list out everything I have so nothing gets left out. Mouse upgrades, keyboard, anything. Help. (The videocard is an exception, I'll upgrade that when DX10 hits)

Athlon 64 3700+ (2.8) Stock HSF
EpoX NF4 9NPA-Sli (939)
2GB G.Skill Extreme PC4000
XFX 7800GT Extreme Ed. 256mb
120GB Seagate 7200.7
80GB Seagate 7200.9
(82.9GB Free Total, Not setup as Raid [If thats even possible, Not sure] )
Viewsonic VX922 19"
Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard
Logitech MX510
Logitech z-680's
Centurion 5 Case (Blue LED on Mobo and Fan)
 
I'm not seeing psu. If you plan on getting directx10 gpu, you'd hafta upgrade to a 700w psu, given that they will probably run at 250-300w...
 
It's a OCZ Powerstream 520W I don't see how these new cards would suck enough power to render it not good enough. You can hook 2 current gen cards up to this so I just don't see that happening..
 
So...anybody have any more input. So far I'm still stuck with only a new CPU and $90 left over.

Take your girl on a date with that $90, hehe. If you don't need anything, then don't spend anything. All of your parts are still good, and you only need dual core if you're multitasking alot.
