Re: What should I upgrade?
It looks like a pretty good setup already. I can't see anything that really looks like it needs to be upgraded. The PSU isn't my favorite, but it should work for your setup as is. If you want a new graphics card, the only real worthwhile upgrade would be to a Radeon 5850 or 5870, and then you'd also need a quality 750W PSU.

In order of increasing price...
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153036 - $115 (this one kinda meh) Corsair TX750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=Corsair%20750 - $120 Thermaltake Toughpower XT 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153104 - $120 Corsair TX850W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...rsair%20TX850W - $140 SeaSonic S12D 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...%20S12D%20750W - $160 Thermaltake Toughpower 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153101 - $160 CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 850W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...r%20Pro%20850W - $160 Corsair TX950W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...rsair%20TX950W - $160 Corsair HX750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...010&Tpk=HX750W - $170 Corsair HX850W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...rsair%20HX850W - $180 SeaSonic S12D 850W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...pk=S12D%20850W - $180 SeaSonic M12D 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...pk=M12D%20750W - $190 The Corsair TX series offers the best bang for the buck, but the other power supplies will offer higher efficiency, modular cabling, better noise/ripple control, and a few other goodies.
