I think right now, I will just order at least one more 1g of Ram. And then do a possible video card update in the near future. I talked with the IT guy at my work, and that was his suggestion. And for the most part, that is what everyone on here seems to be suggesting also.
Based on that budget and time frame, I'd clean up and defrag the current system and see what your real RAM utilization is before spending anything on anything.

10 months from now something better than this Alienware system will be in your price range and it will kick ass over just about anything you can do by adding RAM and 1 higher end video card to your existing box.
