I've got some money saved up and am shopping around. Willing to throw down $200 ($300 if you can talk me into it). My current rig:

AMD 3000+ (socket 939)
MSI K8N Neo2 plat.
GeForce FX 5200
1 Gig Mushkin PC3200 green line (value RAM)
Segate 7200 RPM 80 Gig SATA HDD
Audigy 2 sound card
some standard 400W PSU that came with my case

I was thinking about picking up the AGP version of the 6600 (I believe the model offerd by ASUS had 256MB Ram and was about $140) with a nice 500W PSU (rosewill had one i liked for around $50).

Another approach I was thinking of was to pick up a gig of OCZ PC4000 VX Gold (around $170) since I have that DDR Booster thingy.

The last thing I was thinking about was to pick up a nice water cooling system. haven't put to much thought into it yet because I don't really need it but it's still would be nice to know that I've got it in case of future upgrades, decide to OC my system, have bragging right over my friends :D , etc.

From here I'll leave it to you guys to do your thing
