thanks I've added 2400MHz patriot RAM instead, and gone for the evo SSD.
Any ideas on a solid air cooler?
I'm toying with the idea of a 680 or 770 but price/performance looks like the 670 is king?
Would like to stay nvidia owing to 3dvision
 
Any advice on a good value heatsink for this? Would rather keep it sub £50.
If the rest of the spec is now good ill be buying today.

Cheers,

Would love to try a 7970 but do still enjoy 3dvision. Very nearly tempted to try the MSI 680 OC Twin Frozr 2048MB Not sure if its a big enough upgrade.. especially given the 670 is a 4GB card :S

Thanks for all the help so far :)
