Gents I'd like to upgrade my system, let me tell you what i've got first.

I7 920 @ 3.9ghz with a corsair H60 push/pull
GTX 480 + Gelid Icy vision
9gb OCZ 1600mhz ram
64GB crucial ssd (for games)
2 x 500gb spinpoint samsung for windows and storage
XFX 850 core PSU

Now. I was thinking about purchasing another gtx 480 for sli. But the current GPU speculation with Keplar etc is bothering me about wasting my money.
But at the same time, £185 is my budget so I doubt that I'll be able to afford a pricey part anyway.

My other option is to purchase a second ssd for windows, a decent sound card and another cpu cooler, maybe the Gelid tranquillo. The reason behind this is that I wanted to attach my H60 to the 480 to get better temps and better overclocking. The core is good for 900mhz but I cant keep it cool enough.

I cant make my mind up and I'd like someone to help it sway me.

Purchase day is this tuesday as it's my birthday :D
 
I have thought about the OS being on the ssd. The only game I can conclusively say matter about being on the ssd is ARMA 2.

I can really notice the difference in the textures loadind between regular hard drive and an ssd and not sure I could go back to that
