have a look at my specks on the left hand side and see if i need to upgrade anything or will my current specs play mast game atm?
 
The only thing you could possibly upgrade too is a quad core... nice rig
 
Possibly replace the 8800GTS with a GT...but except for that...maybe Quad core. But you don't NEED to.

imho the G80 GTS is still a great card, wouldnt make much sense to get a G92 GT
 
a bigger better screen??? a really good one will last you years
 
IF you want to upgrade, id get a gfx card before i swapped your cpu. What is your e6600 running at?(Stock/oc?)
 
What's the max res of that 19" Sammy?
 
savillm, you don't need an upgrade, your system is high/mid end and will play any game for the next year or so with ease!! (maybe not Crysis)

Maybe another 2 GB of ram is needed though.
 
You're fine. You don't need anything right now unless you want to play Crysis at ludicrous resolutions with everything maxxed.
 
Only if you want to upgrade it.
