I have $700 to spend on upgrades next week. Not really sure what I should get. I was thinking of getting a GTX 295 or 4870x2.

Get a PCI-E Adaptor and 4GB of RAM and a GTX 295.
Or you could get a Corsair 750TX or 650TX power supply.

4GB RAM is absolutely critical, get that first above everything else.
__________________Nothing will help if that meager 2gb is going to hold you back. Don't upgrade your CPU however, not that an extra 0.4 - 0.5Ghz oc is going to make a noticeable difference. Get an Asus p5q motherboard (overclocks very well for a cheap price) with a 4870x2, or gtx 295, and there you should be set.

Sell the board, ram and GPU. Get Gigabyte EP45-UD3P or Asus P5Q-e, 2x2GB kit, GTX275/4890 and save the rest money.
