So being of pure heart and fortunate, I want to buy another DS system, and improve upon my baby listed above.  I am running a 24 inch ASUS monitor, at 1920 x 1080, and that is going to remain my monitor. 
 
Gaming will be the primary use for this, particularly pointing at Battlefield 3.  My budget probably shouldn't exceed $3500.00, as She who must be obeyed has a somewhat limited tolerance for my excesses with computers.
 
Thanks in advance for any responses you may care to offer

honestly you are not gonna notice too much a difference in gaming if you get a new pc, add another 480 or wait till Q1 of 2012 for new round of gpus.

also there is the highend platform of SB coming so if you still want to get a new pc for some reason, wait for that, thats gonna be here in oct/nov.
