Such a waste of money. Upgrade a few things and put the rest to good use.

You have a sufficient gaming system already. Why not use the $7500 on a down payment for a car or just put it in your savings.

why bother..

your current rig looks like it can run anything?

If you must.. get more RAM.

I can't think of anything that needs to be upgraded urgently.

Go buy a bunch of hookers, or some drugs. Maybe a car like stated above. No reason to blow all that cash on a new rig if you don't need it (which you don't) .

wow, it's called saving...

Spend 2500 and save the rest for a car or college, no need to waste!

get a 4870x2, a good x48 motherboard, 4/8 gigs of really fast DDR2 (DDR3 is a waste for practical performance with the core2 architecture), Q9650, and a good samsung 24' screen.

Yeah, with all due respect no computer is really worth more than a grand. In a couple months the worth will be cut down to half, why bother.

Put it away or look into something that will actually benefit you.
