Processor?

Maybe the motherboard down the line.

Not sure on the power consumption but you might able to run SLI with another 8800. The Corsair is a good PSU.

So if the Corsair can handle it, Id say add a 2nd 8800 and a 22'' monitor.

A second 8800GTS would be a better choice than a GTX280 or 260?

Less than 400 because I don't want to build a whole new rig...

You need to state what you mostly use your computer for as well. That would help us tell you what to upgrade.
