@OP: I don't see any reason why you should upgrade your whole system for now. With 25K, just get a good 22" monitor (around 8K), 2GB Ram (around 1700), HD 6870 (around 15k) and Corsair VX450 (around 3.8K).

The reason why I say stick with your current rig is currently it's pretty OK and because mid-range Sandy bridge is expected in January next year. You can buy rest of the components then. A 6870+a 22" monitor+and Vx450 will easily last you at least one year. In fact, you can even avoid buying RAM for now.
