IMO, it is a good setup... What with PCI-E and SLI setups becoming more affordable, perhaps you can start planning your next upgrade around that...

New mobo and GPU(s) are on my list of soon-to-be-purchased upgrades.

As far as a watercooling setup, keep in mind that you get what you pay for, in terms of intercompatibility between components, manufacturers, and performance.

If money is tight, a good air cooling solution would probably be the best option over a cheap WC kit.

Oh, and welcome to PR

I second zeros's comment about the RAM. System memory is becoming more and more crucial with todays games as displayed in BF2 and the like. Make sure you are getting something worth while and not some generic 1gb value ram.

hmm, not too bad. although i may have gone with a little faster and little better quality RAM. the XMS series from Corsair is what i recommend. Something like these LINKY
