I've got the urge -.- Specs of my current system as follows:
  • CASE: Fractal Design Define R2 Black Pearl
  • CPU: E8400 (3.8ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB Corsair XMS2 PC6400 (2x2gb)
  • GPU: PNY 8800GT 512mb
  • MOBO: Abit IP35 Pro XE
  • PSU: Corsair HX520W
  • COOLING: Corsair H-50 for CPU with stock fan + various high end case fans
  • SYSTEM HDD: WD Blue 320GB for Windows 7
  • STORAGE HDD: 640GB 2.5", 1TB & 2TB 3.5"

I want to upgrade just the main components within a budget of about £400-500:
  • CPU
  • RAM
  • GRAPHICS CARD + quieter better aftermarket cooler
  • MOBO
  • PSU - only if necessary
  • SYSTEM HDD - considering a SSD?

Is it worth waiting or should I go for it?
ps. I'd sell the old components so should make some of that money back.
 
Great :) Anyone spec me a CPU and graphics card (+ quieter and stronger cooler) worth paying for? Within a reasonable budget (maybe £250-£300?)..
