Default What should I upgrade next?
Ok so you can see my specs in my sig... I have few hundred bucks to spend (possibly) and I'm trying to figure out what to buy with this cash. I was thinking getting 2 more gigs of ram and the dominator fan... Or maybe a second 9800GTX for sli. What do you guys think?

water cooling block for GPU + a 9800GTX, and DDR3 is really a waste right now ...

DDR3 isn't a waste. That's what Nehalem will use.

Alright that's what I was thinking as well. I'm actually not too happy with this set of ram anyway... it's holding back my overclock abilities (I think it's the ram at least.. if not the board which has been a pain in the butt as well).

Anyone else have some input?

I see your rig is fine. I would save money for next big upgrade unless you aren't happy with single 9800GTX.
