What would be a good upgrade to my system, system in sig.

Edit, not looking for a new build, just an upgrade.

System wise it looks fine but what graphics card do you have?

Looks like a good system to me - are you finding it slow whilst doing anything in particular?

No just have a bit of cash from quidco. (approx £200)

Would an SSD be good or just wait till they get a bit cheaper.

My HD setup

OS (vista 64) Sata 1 80 gig
Games 2xsata 2 150 gig Raid1
Storage Sata 1 250 gig

SSD would be great for your rig and would make quite a good difference I think, especially when your boot drive is only Sata 1... or for a bit less than an SSD why not get a pair of Sata 2 drives and put them in RAID 0 for your OS and Apps?

A couple of these 320Gb WD Blue in RAID 0 would simply blitz what you currently have. And you'd get change from £85... Can't go wrong at that price!
