Good afternoon all,

I will be moving house shortly with the ol'lady so most likely going to be strapped for cash for the next year or so, but I have a budget of about £200 (not told her yet haha) just to bring my computer up a notch, its a couple of years old now so looking for a worth while upgrade.

Currently running:

Intel Core i5-2500 3.3ghz Sandybridge (Gelid Tranquillo Cooler attached, I really really should OC this but never got around to it... )

Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz DC

GeForce GTX 560 DirectCU 1024MB

Cooler Master GX 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

I can guess you would say the GPU is letting it down some, and to just OC the hell out of the CPU and replace the GPU. So my question would be, what would be the best upgrade sub £200 and would my PSU be able to take the hit? Would it be worth getting another 560 and pairing them up or completely replace it?

Cheers in advance

Much appreciated. It is indeed the K model looking at my history. I shall take your suggestion on board, not too pricey so might be able to sneak that through the bank statement :)
