CPUs and very good video cards are extremly cheap now, you can get a gtx260 for $200 bucks and your processor for $240.

Excellent PC building market.

AMD X2 4400+ w/ a Geforce 8800 GTS!

No, seriously!

Got my eye on a 2500k though... only $180 at Microcenter.

Went ahead and did it; running a 2500k with 4gigs of DDR1600. Still running the Geforce 8800GTS, but oh well, beggars can't be choosers. All in all, the upgrades cost me a mere $240.
