help with an upgrade

[quest]

hi, hoping someone can help me with an upgrade, my current specs are:

Processor: i7 3770
Mobo: asus p8h61-mx m-atx
RAM: 2x 4GB 1066mhz crucial rendition
GPU: HD6670 2gb
PSU: OCZ 550W ZS Series
Storage: 1tb HDD

I'm looking to spend around £200-£250 on upgrading it and a new case, I use it for gaming, photoshop, illustrator and some light CAD/3D modelling.

I was thinking of a bitfenix prodigy M or the fractal core 1000 as a cheaper option for a case, then a 128gb crucial mx100 ssd. Any suggestions for a graphics card/other areas to upgrade?

thanks

An SSD would certainly help and for Gaming a GPU would help no end.

I think you should get a SSD with higher write speeds than what a MX100 offers.

Ones like the Samsung EVO mentioned in the first reply or,
