If you could build a new computer, how would you build it. I convinced my wife into letting me get a new one so she can have my current one!

Currently running Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16ghz 3.17ghz
8GB Ram
64-bit OS
2 ATI HD 4800 SLI 500mb vid cards
Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E ethernet controller
onboard sound
running Vista service pack 2

worth upgrading whole system or if I just updated my vid cards would that make a big difference? Wondering if a few choice upgrades would make a big enough difference, then I might just get my wife a newer laptop to replace our old computer.

If I build a new one, under $2000. Would like to stay well under that. If I just upgrade I want it to actually work so long as its less than buying a new PC lol. But need to leave room to get the laptop.

I have an Acer X223W which works pretty well so do not plan on changing monitors out at this point.

I know i'm late posting to this but you should check out the buildapc section over at reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/

They have a huge amount of information how to build an amazing PC for relatively little amounts of money. Make sure to check out the links in the sidebar to the right of the page

http://pcpartpicker.com/

Is also another amazing website for help choosing parts.
