What is there do do?

System Specs

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.21GHz
ASUS AM3 Crosshair Formula
4GB (2x2) OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600MHz
2x ATI Sapphire Radeon 4850 1GB in Crossfire
OCZ 850watt PSU
Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD 16mb cache

I've got roughly £500 to upgrade.

I guess it would mainly be the GPU's but not having any problems with them.

My Keyboard and mouse needs improvements. wireless/long usb required though (extension acceptable although needs secure connection)

Any suggestions?

The above kit is what you currently have?

If so, buy a decent new mouse/keyboard and stick the £400 in your back pocket.

The GPU's would be the only thing there that I would want to update or possibly going for tri-channel ram if your that desperate to spend the money. (didnt check if the mobo would have it)

New case? Monitor?

yup, that's current.

When I checked it looked like it was only dual.

Personally, I wouldn't change the graphics.

Stick an SSD in there and maybe up it to 8GB if you feel the need. Other than that, I'd change nothing else.

also have the zalman 9900led cooler in there.

Deffinetly swear by it! 30 degrees idle temperature with the fans on low. Just a shame I can't use the MB software to control the optional fans

Go on holiday. Your PC doesn't need upgrading.
