NewEgg gave me a grand more in my credit limit, and with the no payment for a year I wouldn't mind making use of it. The thing is I have to spend $1000 or $900ish with the shipping to bring it to 1000 to be able to take advantage of no payment for a year. Some things to keep in mind are that I play on a 1080p HDTV. So the 9600GT is actually struggling a little at this resolution, but I don't play many graphic intensive games. Also, I play Final Fantasy XI a lot and the nVidia 8 and 9 series have graphical issues in the game. I'm deeply considering a 3870 X2. But that will require a new PSU since I have a rather average Rosewill 550W. Does the 3870 X2 need a 8-pin and 6 pin, or what configuration is it?
I suppose I could upgrade to a 45nm E8400 to OC. I managed to get my E6550 with a 7x multiplier to 444x7 3108 MHZ, if I had the E8400 I could really get a great OC with my mobo. I don't really need any accessories, I have nice speakers...Z-5500's, a nice HDTV as my screen.
So far I have three parts in mind...

Next day shipping doesn't cost much more than 3 day, and since its Wednesday night I'll go with that to get it by Friday, so those 3 things with next day shipping come to $841.68. I could use a new keyboard I suppose. Anyway, I'm more interested in what other people would choose as their upgrades.
