There's always room for upgrade. I usually start out with a small amount, and upgrade. There's no since in getting more than what you need. As new software comes out that requires stronger hardware, Then upgrade.

You've got a good PC. Pretty good price too. Just upgrade that RAM and possibly the processor when you feel it's necessary.
 
That's A big improvement from your old specs. You should definitely improve your games by alot! Of course when you do get windows 7 make sure you install the 64bit version and then not only will the apps that use under 4 GB run faster, But I should pick up all the 4 GB!
