Upgrade path

Cygnus X1

Looking at the system in my sig, what would be your upgrade path to get the most out of this? Besides overclocking, which I might do what things first to last would you do? Thanks!

Mostly play BF2 & CS:S
 
My votes goes for a video card upgrade to a 7800GT or beyond. Aren't those around $300 now?

I'm running a 3000 Venice at 2.4ghz, 2GB RAM, 6800GT OC... and I know a 7800GT would do wonders for my system. I'm almost surely being GPU limited and not CPU limited. I have to run BF2 at 1024x768 (medium settings, 2xAA, no AF) in order to maintain *constant* FPS above 60 (save for a rare drop into the 50's).
