These are my specs:
Case: NZXT Lexa S
CPU: Intel i5 2500k @ 4.2GHz (higher once water cooling comes)
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55 (RMA'ing because of Sandy Bridge Flaw)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X F3 8gb 1333 9-9-9-24
PSU: Cougar CMX 700 watt
HDD: Seagate 750gb 7200RPM
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212+ (I ordered the XSPC Rasa 750 240mm kit a few days ago)
GPU: MSI GTX 460 Hawk OC'd to 920Mhz Core/ 2075Mhz Memory
Monitor: BenQ E2420HD 1920x1080

What should I upgrade. I like to play games mainly. I was thinking of getting an SSD, got it, then sold it cause it wasn't too good. I'm thinking of upgrading the 460 to a 560, and if that isn't enough, getting another 560 for SLI. I'm also thinking of a new case (Probably NZXT Phantom). What do you guys think I should do?
 
Solution
Yea, I'd say that another 460 should do the trick, unless you want to sell your 460 and buy a new gfx. If that's the case, then go with 560 or go with AMD 6950 and unlock it to 6970!

If you're really looking for the 'crème de la crème', currently the gtx 580 is the fastest singel gpu gfx! Remember though that AMD Antilles 6990 and gtx 590 are just around the corner!

I got an OCZ Vertex 2 60gb. It was messed up with booting, so I sold it on Ebay. Guy who got it liked it. :p What will an SSD get other than a bit faster loading speeds or bragging rights?
 
A (working) SSD makes everything more snappy. They're addictive though... once you get used to the near instantaneous speed you have a hard time using a system with a standard hard drive. You are correct: quick boot time, fast app launching and bragging rights come with and SSD.
