I just upgraded my rig only a few weeks ago .... http://www.deltava.org/thread.do?id=0x11f85
added 4 more G's for RAM for a total of 8GB, new CPU ... Intel Q9550 .... yada yada yada ....
Well ... I'm going to upgrade again
Going to buy the following items:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128375
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231230
My current motherboard, RAM, and CPU is up on e-bay for auction .... sorry, I'd put a link here but I don't think DVA allows advertisement of such things ... so good luck finding it!

Hey Michael, what was wrong with the E8400, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512MB combo ?
Was FSX ? or you had another program that needs more CPU/GPU power than that ?
Just asking 'cause I'm looking foward to upgrade to that similar combo (not interested in FSX thought)
Regards

Computers is somewhat of a hobby for me... I just have to have the latest out there. FSX runs ok on my rig, I'm sure if I was running FS9 it would smoke it.

Charly,
I have GTA IV .... love it! I'm a huge fan of the GTA series. The only thing I have experienced is during heavy scenery the game studders ... but then again I have everything set to MAX ... I suspect if I turn down the settings some I'd be ok.
But GTA is awesome! ...btw, I have Netflix stock! ... and its going up, up, and up!
Once my i7 is up and running I'll update.
