Just got a call from old boss offering my job back whilst I'm back from uni. This means more money = upgrade time!

Anyway wanted the input from you guys on this one. My rig is in my sig, I'm set for mouse/keyboard/speakers/headphones.

I'm thinking of grabbing maybe a 500gb SSD and maybe a 240gb aswell if one gets on deal for the 60 mark! Then I'm currenly using an AOC 24" not sure the exact model and an old 24" logik TV for screens. Time to finally turn in the TV for a monitor. I'm thinking of stepping down the 1440p or super widescreen to split into two screens.

Input? What would you do?

This is for planning expenses over summer, say £1000 at the top top but less is best.

How desperately would I need a card upgrade? As this won't be till summer might see how much a 390x'll set me back, any ideas how much they could be? Then I'm amusing getting a decent 1440p ips monitor and a 500gb ssd will probably just topple me over 1k?
