Get a new HSF so you can get those GHz up to at least 3.0.
With that much, you could grab a Megahalem (maybe, exchange rate plus shipping could = $100,000,000). Just get the best HSF you can find in Aus.

New heatsink also and overclock as xxbassplayer suggest would be a very good route to extend the performance of your system before you might want to upgrade again.
__________________Or new harddrive 500gig and clean out those ide drives and therefore move clutter in the case. i would go with a new harddrive, due to i hate idea ribbon.rounded cables. but either route would be excellent. Your on the right track, just need to think where do you think your system needs improvements and upgrade that part.

Respect for a fellow Aussie!
My vote is for a new HSF, Zalman fan controller, and you could probably pick up a pot of something to drink on your way home with the spare change :P.

Well, Atomic rated the V8 as the best 775 cooler in their latest roundup, beat the True and the Vendetta 2 (Which i own, happily).
Fans depend alot on if you'd prefer all out cooling or something a little more quiet. EDIT:: MWave price the True at $135 and the V8 at $92
