Upgrade

So here I am about 15 months out from my build. System (see sig) still runs great, but of course, is no longer on the cutting edge.

With Crysis and Bioshock coming out soon, I wonder if I should upgrade. I notice that the price on a duplicate video card for SLI hasn't dropped much, so I am not clear on whether I should buy the duplicate or get an 8800.

Also, is it worthwhile to upgrade the CPU?

Thanks

AMD has just cut, drastically, its' processor prices so 6000+ may now be in your price range.

I'd hold off on the video card though, you're set as is.
