Hi guys

After a little advice as I've not been on here in a little while and lost touch a little as where to go next with my system. Hopefully over next couple of months ill gain around £300 and was after a some advice as to what to buy next.

Below is my PC spec which i built nearly two years ago which is used mainly for gaming.

I have a 24 inch dell true colour monitor which I'm more than happy with.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Processor

Asus P5Q-E Intel P45 Mobo

Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb Golden Sample

Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

Samsung SpinPoint F1 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz SLI-Ready Edition Low Latency Dual Channel DDR2

Cheers

Matt

GTX 460 and an SSD? Depends how soon you have the money though, if you're not buying for 3 months then the new AMD graphics cards might be out.

Oh and a Titan Fenrir Evo if you don't already have a CPU cooler.

I think a SSD and or new gpu, part from them your pc is still good.

Get a decent cooler if you have'nt got one and clock that Quad if you have'nt already done so. It's a good combination and should easily hit at least 3.6Ghz.

I have an arctic freezer extreme, definatley going to be over clocking when I sort the case cooling out. I'm on vista aswell so might consider installing a copy of windows 7 on an SSD. Should be a decent upgrade? Gpu will have to wait unfortunately as funds won't really allow this yet.
