I think your rig is holding up very well. Save your money.

I think your rig still looks fine too. I'd save until it makes a greater impact.

I really doubt you're having trouble playing anything at decent settings with your setup. You only need to upgrade if you have a ton of extra cash that's burning a hole in your pocket. Though you might want another HDD since 160 GB isn't much and you might be better off replacing the 500w no-name codegen. The only other thing is; you might want to use a 64 bit version of vista if you want to use all your ram.

Sorry if it this will sound rude, but what the hell...your machine is great, and you're holding on the fact that it is a year old and not on the fact that it is performing bad at something...In my opinion this a bit of show of more than anything.

There's a statistic or bench for everything.

thanx people.
Yeah I really need to get a larger HDD. Thinking about a Samsung Terabyte drive, but replacing it with my old one is gonna be a major headache.
Is there an easy way to trranfer all the stuff in my current drive to the new one as is, drivers and all, and hope it works perfectly???

Thanx again

Yeah monitor is real old. But image quality is outstanding. Major problem is it weighs 35 kilos :)
Thinking about a large LCD, but are they any better than a CRT?
