Suggestions for upgrades....

I have my geforce 6800gt on the way and need to figure out what would be the next best upgrades. Here is what i have:
Epox 8RDA+
xp 2500+ (can overclock to xp 3000+) without problems
no sound card (using onboard sound)
200 WD 8mb cache hdd
1 gig pc2700 that overclocks great
antec true power 430 PS

I am trying to build up my system for a good gaming system. If i can get away with my mobo and cpu for now then i am ok with that. I have done alot of reading and searching to see if i will get a big performance boost. Any suggestions for future upgrades are appreciated.
 
Already a good system for gaming.

Got good sound for gaming? Pair up audigy 2zs with promedia 5.1?

Good 19" or larger for that 6800GT?

Got a 21" Sony G500 😀
I was thinking that a better sound card might be good. I game with my headphones (Bose Triports) because my girlfriend might strangle me if not.

Save up the money. Buy a A64/S939 next year or book a trip to Maui jaws.

Thanks again.
