Hi Oscar

I know that itch very well - I only upgraded 5 months ago and I'm already scouting for stuff!

Here is something I'm considering. http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-bracket.html

It's a water cooler bracket for graphics cards. If you get this and a CPU water cooler from the list under 'spec', you can water cool your GPU without all that expensive custom assembly stuff. If you're confident enough to change over the coolers on your 7950, then perhaps this is for you. However, this is a new product and there's not a lot of user feedback out there yet...

What cooler have you got on your CPU?

If you want a solution that boosts performance, well, I reckon if I was upgrading your rig, I'd be getting another...

As far as fancy items go, well, personally I think the fanciest thing you can do to a rig is set up a custom water cooling circuit across your components. For example: http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/upgrades/pc-water-cooling-guide-all-you-need-to-know-952521

All in all, the world is your oyster if you have the time and money. What are you looking to spend?
