What should I upgrade/add next?

Current system:
X2 4600+
Epox 9NPA+Ultra
2GB Corsair (PC3200C2 - 2,3,3,6,1T)
7900GT
74GB Raptor
250GB SATA
120GB IDE
80GB IDE
NEC 3550
NEC 3500

I still have an excellent 19" CRT, but I may be leaning towards a 20-21" Wide LCD in the near future. I think I want to change out the heatsink/fan on the 7900GT and the stock heatsink/fan on the CPU which isn't that much.

Any other suggestions? Something I'm overlooking?

What is it you do with it? If it is for games, you have a pretty decent setup, I wouldn't be "rushing" to upgrade anything.

If you want top of the line, though, then sell that whole thing and start from scratch :).

I don't play games all that often and if I do, they're certainly not FPS or anything extremely taxing on any of the components that I have.

I've been getting more into video editing and processing lately.

I think that I'm a speed/performance junky which is why I have the rig I do :)

if you upgrade anything get a new monitor everything else is perfectly fine and will be for some time to come.
