Sup Folks,

What's the most bang for buck upgrade on - with a budget of ~£700

i7 920 + Gigabyte EX58-UD5
6GB Ram
560Ti

Looking for

CPU
Mobo
CPU Cooler
Ram
GFX
SSD (Just for the OS and a few select games so ~120GB)

I know the i7 isn't terrible, but after 3 years of heavy use it's slowly degrading and have had to remove the OC on it just to keep stable, the HDD is about to die also!

just get a new heatsink (if you're on a stock cooler) and overclock your 920, and a gtx 670. and maybe an extra 6gb ram if you are maxing out your ram already (unlikely)
 
 
Cheers Folks,

I got impatient and pretty much ordered my spec above only I took the Asus board out and stuck in the Asrock Extreme4 instead :o
