Hey folks just after a bit of a steer really, looking to update my pc to something that is capable of running battlefield 3 at a nice setting + a few more games in the future.

Current setup is

I7 920 D0 - currently running stock with stock cooler (one area I do want to sort out)
6gb patriot DDR3 ram not sure on the speed or timings on this but it's not good.
gfx = 460gtx 768mb card
mobo - Asus P6T-SE
550w enermax psu - needs changing
and an NZXT zero case - I would like to change this.

My main desires are a new PSU, case and cooling but if you think anywhere else could be easily improved let me know. Must be quiet.

Also I game at 1680 x 1050 due to my monitor.

Any suggestions? Say a budget of £300 max.

Cheers folks :)
 
I was kind of thinking, new psu, new case + cooling, then I have a 260gtx + the 460gtx that I could sell. to make up the difference for a new gfx card? Thoughts? + suggestions I'm well out of touch with which gfx card is currently providing best bang for buck.
 
Guys I'm thinking I might just order Ak!ta's suggested PSU + cooler for the time being and wait until the game comes out before I order it. Thought's? or any better options?
 
Cheers stulid, the non modular thing doesn't both me in the slightest, my case has no windows and I just tuck them above my dvd drive :)
