Upgrade Help

Hey guys,

Thinking of upgrading my current build for gaming (sig below) with the aim of running 2x MSI
N560 Ti Hawks and some extras.

Here is what i was currently looking at:
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
Coolermaster V8 Cpu cooler
and of course the 2nd MSI Hawk

looking for you guys to suggest a better plan

Oh and by the way why is it people suggest that the top priority is an SSD if you don't have one? I'm currently using my PC For gaming not data transfer and most games load pretty quickly. Also they are damn expensive.

I'd rather wait the extra 3-4 seconds loading than fork out £100 on an SSD

Ok, from what I have seen there are multiple people who think the same, feel free to suggest me a decent but not too pricey SSD

Budget: £500

The only thing Im uncertain with your build is the cpu cooler. It has no reviews and I've never actually heard of the make.

I've just been looking at some pages about the top cpu coolers. 2 Coolers have caught my eye, the Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator and Fan Socket and the Spire Thermax Eclipse II.

Any thoughts?
