Is it getting time for me to upgrade?

Hey guys like I said in my other post I'm saving up money towards a new system and hopefully will have around 1500 by end of year or early next year. I wanted you guys to look at my current system specs and tell me if you think it's time I do upgrade or should I wait? Also, is there anything you would recommend upgrading on my current setup? Currently I don't overclock as well......

Here is a list of my hardware:
--------------------------------
Motherboard - ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
CPU - Intel Pentium 4 3.2 with Hyper Threading (not overclocked)
RAM - Kingston Hyper X DDR 400 2gb worth
Video card - BFG Nvidia 7800 GS AGP
Sound Card - Creative Audigy 2 ZS

Currently I have an OEM copy of XP pro for it but I had bought a retail full version of Vista Ultimate.

It's still a pretty decent system but is it time to upgrade or keep it for another 2 years?

Thanks

i think they should do you fine if your saving up for something big.
the only thing i would upgrade is maybe to a dual core cpu and thats only if your current one is slowing you down in any way
you can get a pentium D for like 60 bucks last time i checked

I think you should save for a new system. You could also sell your current, for a few hundred on ebay, for some extra cash.

id get the ds3r and the e6750 with 2gb gkill ram

Newegg.com Shopping Cart

those two things plus e6750 after july 22nd

maybe even a 8800gts 320 would be sick

total = about $850

Well I only have 100 saved up right now.... if I sold my computer I have now and could get 300 bucks then obviously 400 but it would still take me a few months to save almost 1000 even....

Do you think I should sell my system now and not wait any longer as it continues to depreciate?
