I am debating between three parts, Q6600, 8800GT, or 22" LCD, what is the best choice?

My Setup:
EVGA 680i SLI Mobo
E6550 @ 3.3 Ghz
2GB DDR2-800 RAM
EVGA 8600GT
500W PSU
 
q6600, because your PSU might not be enough for the 8800gt (I recommend you upgrade that, or tell me if its a good one)
 
Well, I've found the e6550's are pretty hardy little things, easily overclockable to 3.2Ghz
The thing that's bottlenecking your system atm, and it will be even more noticable if you got a q6600, is your 8600GT.
Myself, I'd upgrade to the 8800GT instead of upgrading the cpu. Though Vernong made a good point about your psu.
edit: I did a psu calculation, and your psu should be fine. (depending on how much amperage it can supply)
