I Have Lenovo based model with 3Gb DDR2 Ram,640Gb Sata,Intel 775 Socket Motherboard, Core2duo @ 2.2Ghz with 18.5inch monitor.

I am planning to Buy an Bigger LED Monitor and If Necessary Build a New Ivy Rig by July.

Its been 4years since i Purchased the C2D processor Model.

I Feel the computer has become slower. When i should i upgrade? I am on a tight budget of 50k. Waiting for SSD price to drop a bit and Sata HDD also.

Should i buy a 23inch monitor or 27'' would be fine? I do casual Gaming and Computer Runs 24*7 and bit of multi tasking and would be Doing CAD/CAM on it.
