You really don't need that 850 watt Corsair at all. Heck, even a GTX 680 system can get by on a quality 500 watts(key word is quality). Your current Corsair should be plenty, since Corsairs do deliver their stated wattage.

I would buy a new monitor if I were you, you can get a much nicer one than that for very little money these days. I didn't think it would be hugely noticeable, but my monitor upgrade quickly became my favorite purchase last time I put together a pc.

You really need to upgrade to Windows 7. With XP you're going to be limited to DX9 games only, and some games like Battlefield 3 don't even support a DX9 mode so you can't play them at all.
