Default I need some upgrade suggestions.

I've £150 (ish little extra most likely) for an upgrade, and I'm unsure what my best option is I was going to hold of till ATi's DX10 card but I don't know when that comeing and if its worth waiting for at the moment. Crossfire is a possiability so I'd like an ATi card in case of future upgrades.

A soundcard and another hard drive would cost around £150!

Mouse is fine, Motherboard supports high defenition audio and I couldn't really care about better sound. Not much use for another HDD at the moment either.

Kinda after a graphics card. :P

I want a smooth game of BF2142 with High textures.
