Better PSU
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?s...facture=CORSAIR

Better CPU
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=...2505&cid=CPU.84

Motherboard(Needed to be changed due to different CPU)
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=...7990&cid=MB.157

WAYY better video card(MORE than twice as fast)
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?s...imedia%20Inc%2E

Or if that video card is too expensive, get this one. It's only 5 bucks more than the one you selected, and MUCH faster as well. I still recommend the 4850 however.

Yeah agreed, they're all pretty slow/old/overpriced parts.
The stuff Abuzar has listed is miles better.
The HD4850 is a vastly better card than the 8800GT, but if you really can't stretch to the 4850, take the 1GB 8800.

Sam, one GB didn't really make a difference. I guess it might be better for future proofing.

It certainly wouldn't on an ATI card, but not sure about nvidia.

No I had one. 8800GT 1GB. I throughly researched it before buying. It offers no performance gain. Only reason I bought it was to future proof(LOL like I kept it long enough) and primarily because of the much better dual slot cooler.

Indeed, but the one you posted has a single slot cooler?
