Upgrade

Thinking of upgrading something in my pc, options are the following ( in descending price order):
Another samsung f1 and raid
Another 2gb of memory
Another 4870 for crossfire
Watercooling setup
Anything else? What people think i would benfit from most? I mainly browse the internet, listen to music, watch films/tv, play games etc

I see you've already clocked your E8500 to 4Ghz therefore i wouldn't recommend water cooling as at tops you'll only get around another 0.8-1.0Ghz more which imo isn't worth the money.

Going to 4GB ram is a definite i'd say especially if running vista.

kk thought so, if i did water cool id prob do the card to aswell so would reduce having to up the fan speed to ~40% when playing games. Have been waiting to see if ddr3 prices go down because of the new triple channel memory coming through.

But that would involve getting a new mobo too

Go for 2GB ram and another hdd to raid. I did both at the same time and the speed increase was immense
