Your hard drives are in good shape. Unless you want to buy 2 500GB Hard Drives. PCI-E card is the way to go. EVGA 7800 GT is a great card. So basically you need to change your motherboard, cpu, video card. This should not cost much. AMD is great. I can't vouch for Intel since I have used Intel in awhile. You could wait because Intel is comming out with some new cpu's. I will see what I can find. Unless someone tells you something else. Take it easy, RC I will have to agree with suryad. The FX-60 blow away nearly all of intel's current cpu's
