Also do some overclocking of the processor as that will make a difference.

Today, ATI released a press release dropping the prices in their 3800 series cards significantly. Wait 2 or 3 weeks and you should be able to pick up a new 3850 for ~$139 USD or a 3870 for ~$169 USD. You really do have a pretty decent system to begin with, though.

You could always drop in a 5000 Black edition and overclock it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103194

There is no need to spend a lot of money on your computer. I think you would be happy with is with those 2 upgrades. Your system should be able to handle those components just fine.
