Hi everyone
My spec is in my sig. I am looking for some advice on a potential upgrade to my rig. I was one of those hoping that I would be able to upgrade to bulldozer when it comes out without changing mobo but it looks like that is not happening any more. Is that right? So it looks like as far as processor upgrades go all my options are already available.
What do you think I should/could do? Another 4gb of RAM? Another SSD in RAID0? A processor upgrade?
At the moment it does everything I ask of it: some very light gaming (dont think I need a gfx card), a fair bit of encoding, and general web browsing and film watching. I just want to keep it really snappy during normal usage. I am actually starting to think that a OS reinstall might be in order because it does not seem as quick off the mark as when I first bought it. Hopefully it is not the SSD degrading (that problem got solved with win 7 didnt it?)
So not too clear a brief
but is there anything you guys think I should be thinking about? Or should I just sit back and chill out. 
EDIT: Oh also is my PSU enough for what I have? Could I stick another hdd in without changing PSU?
