Currently have the following:

ASUS Sabertooth X58
Intel Core i7 930 @ 3.4GHz
Kingston HyperX 4GB x3

I am looking to upgrade the above components, have £600 spare to spend, what would you guys recommend?

Uses for the PC? Gaming?
This is the rig in your signature?
Cheers

I use my PC for playing Starwars The Old Republic (swtor) and video editing....

I have 2x HP ZR24w 24 inch monitors....

Hm, video editing = a bit more RAM?

i7 + 16GB RAM would be good for video editing/rendering, but the other two specs are more suited for gaming. Are you happy currently with the FPS you are getting in swtor?
