So after a few years my old build (In sig) is struggling especially with gaming since I moved away from playing on console. Im thinking of buying:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor £184.99
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77 £167.99
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB GDDR5 £ £323.99
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive £94.99
Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) £59.99

So was just looking for any thoughts or possible improvements that you guys have, Im going to stick with a HDD I already have and use the windows 8 trial until its fully released. Was also wondering if this will all fit an old Antec 900 case and whether a 450w psu will suffice?
 
Ok thanks I will go with the Samsung ssd and yes my HDD is sata, but apart from that does this seem to be more than capable of playing games at high settings for the foreseeable future?
 
Well the 9800GTX is getting on a bit, but an important factor is the resolution you use, game settings and the games you play?

Depending on the GFX upgrade you might want to do, you may need to get a stronger PSU also.
 
My Xbox 360 has packed up so Ill be doing most of my gaming on pc, games like the new hitman and bf3. I'll be getting a 1080p screen as well, so will that 450w psu work with the GTX 670?
