What you see below are the current specs of my computer..I have about 400-500 dollars I can use to upgrade this stuff to make it faster. What do I need to upgrade? Specific items and links to them would be great. I play a lot of World of Warcraft so maybe something that will run it a lot smoother also. Should I upgrade to windows 7 or stay with Vista?

Thanks for the help!
Hey dude, I didn't bother to read all the reply's but here are my 2 cents. I played WoW for few years my self and went threw an upgrade in order to get best FPS possible in raids. WoW is not GPU hungry as it is CPU! I went from 9800GTX to 5870 (Huge Upgrade) and didnt see any FPS increase. Wasn't until I overclocked my CPU to 4.0GHZ from 2.6Ghz that I noticed a big difference. Also you would have to edit a file in WoW folder in order to get 4+ processors working to its full potential.
Just did some quick googling for you and I think they did some updates so I think editing a file might no longer be needed. Anyways here is the link to it http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1778017311
Hope I was able to help.
FOR THE HORDE!
