Improve what? You'll be able to run Crysis and any other big game for the next 2 years easily.

If I would upgrade one thing on there I would make a bigger harddrive, games these days are coming up to 10GB each and also for all your otehr stuff you will need a bigger HDD

I dont need that much storage, I didnt even fill my 80gig HD on my old PC! so thats not a worry for me :D

If I need more there's always an external HD option later in my PC's life span

A 500gb HDD is only about $100 bucks these days. My Western Digital 500gb was like $110.
