Nice, but really?
An i5 and a 5870 with a 1440x900 res? What a waste. Buy a new monitor.

I used to run this 1440x900 on a REALLY bad pc.. i mean single core 1.4ghz dell-built pc. from like a while back, just got this one and i plan to upgrade my monitor soon to a 1920x1080. Very soon.

Lolwut.
Uh, I think you made a little bit of those up? Or you may have typed stuff incorrectly. Either way,
Nehalem is the Core i7's original architecture, so having quad Core 2 Duos is kind of stupid/irrelevant naming.
32GB of ram? Wasteful.
3x5TB harddrives? Yeah, right, the biggest drive available right now is 2TB IIRC, maybe 3TB. Point is, not 5TB harddrives.
All that cpu 'power' and only a 9400M? That's a laptop GPU. Maybe you put the M in by accident. Still, a 9400GT? That's so weak.
And one of those powering 2x30in monitors? Dumb. Unless you're ONLY doing work on it.

That rig either way sounds like a Server rig, not a gaming rig with that much RAM, a lot of CPU for so little GPU and a huge useless bank of harddrives (i have one 232 GB SSD drive). Needs a better video card, because your i7 could handle a lot more than that wimpy video card

I don't check age, so I just assume they're about the same age as me.

Most definitely not.
A big no-no.

That's a pretty sweet rig you got there. Why are you only sitting at 3.8GHz? Why not push for 4? That H50 could do it, I'm sure.
The only thing it needs now is a Vertex 2 boot drive.

Don't pick up the 5830, it just fails compared to the 460.
But before even pickingi up a new graphics card, you will want to pick up a new powersupply so your computer doesn't asplode.
