What upgrades should i get?

[jjolin]

q6600
evga 750i FTW
4x 1gb corsair xms2 675 memory
2x 8800gt in sli
soundblaster live 24bit
320gb seagate hd
xigmatek s-1283
corsair 550w psu
antec twelve hundred case

i will have about $400 us to upgrade my rig next month, and i would like some input on what i should get. i use this rig for gaming mostly. i know alot of people are going to say the memory for overclocking, but with the nvidia board, i can just leave it unlinked and set it to whatever i want.

i am thinking about getting a h20-220 compact and mounting it internally, and maybe a 1kw psu, cause im thinking that 550w psu is cutting it close.

thanks in advance for all the replies.

EDIT: i game at 1440x900

I see no need to upgrade whatsoever.

No need for an upgrade. You won't see a large enough performance or stability increase to warrant the extra costs, especially at 1440x900. In fact, SLI is total overkill for that resolution. The Corsair 550VX is more than enough power for your system.

Though if you want to go with a water cooling for the sheer fun of it and don't care about getting the best bang for your buck, by all means go for it.

A new monitor. Like... a 24 incher, to get those 8800GT's workin at 1920x1200. Otherwise, I agree... a PSU, like the $100 Corsair 750W would be nice.

what op system are you using?

ive heard 8gb ram does wonders for vista (if youve chosen to use it)

cant really go wrong with a nice corsair 750w psu

larger screen is ALWAYS a good investment (unless you live in a closet)

one of those new 300gb WD Velociraptor hard drives would be a nice additon.

Do you really think the OP can get all of that (especially the monitor and the VelociRaptor) with a $400 budget?

To the OP: You don't really need anything... but if you're really concerned about the power output of your system, dropping one of those 8800GTs would do you more good than spending $100+ on the TX750.
