Put more ram in it.
I'll get around to post my build-spec sometime.

The necessity of more RAM only depends on whether or not he is running 64 bit Vista or not, really. I was planning on building one this winter but I think I'm going to hold out until April for some AM3 lovin.

I almost have the exact build you have Miagi except motherboard and hard drive size.
But I have the same brand as you though.
You will not be disappointed by the video card, it's crazy!
I got a pretty good deal on my monitor also. The LG 1900 x 1200 for $269.00 24inch
I love the fact that I can watch TV and play my console games through my monitor in HD.
And the quadcore is awesome.
Dell also had some good deals, on slickdeals.net
Even though I missed it, but they had the new i7 processors with 24 inch monitor and 4 gigs of ram with the top of the line ATI card for only
$891 dollars...
Prolly came out to 1k with tax.
also, 500 gig hard drive with that...
4 gigs of ram is fine... you're not even going to use all that ram unless you are rendering a video most likely.
Most games and applications are not even able to use 64 BIT yet.
The only game I can think of that would use the full force of a quadcore and 4 gigs of ram is Crisis.
