please help with Computer Upgrade

good system you found, although processor can be much more important these days with all the physics, you have to have the processor to feed the graphics card :) like in my system, my 4000+x2 majorly bottlenecks my 8800gts, but i dont think with a 3850 it will be too bad of a bottleneck

A agree, but they are pretty cheap upgrade now-a-days as well.... (a black edition 5000+ is $99 and becomes a 6000 -6400 +)

Also note that the 512MB 3850 performs close to you 320MB GTS

I honestly don't see a problem with it, however, I have a bit of concerns about that 600W PSU. I don't know if it can pull out enought juice with that 9600GT. Although, I'm sure it can.
 
Well, yeah, but IMO, he's up for a new system, because his CPU will eventually bottleneck everything.

It definitely will be able to. That platform would pull at absolute max 350W.
