What would be my next upgrade?

[ker91]

Hi all just wanted your opinions of what you think my next viable upgrade would be

Pc Specification:

CPU: AMD 955 BE @ 3.6ghz
MOBO: Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 Motherboard
RAM: GEIL 4GB DDR3 Black Dragon Memory @ 1333MHZ
GPU: Sapphire HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual DP Out PCI-E Graphics Card
PSU: Corsair TX 650W V2 PSU
HDD: 64GB SSD + 5TB Storage (2TB + 2TB + 1TB)
MONITOR: X2 24" Benq LED Monitor + 32" HDTV (films)
CASE: Modded Antec 300 (Window mod, 5 Case fans, Flipped PSU, UV)
CPU COOLER: Corsair H50
MOUSE: Razer Death Adder
KEYBOARD: Microsoft Sidewinder X4


I really wanted to try to crossfire with another 1gb 6950 but my motherboard is only a mATX one so that would mean I would have to buy another MOBO which is a lot of money for maybe not a lot of gain.

Crossfire might gain you 25% in frame rates; not worth it unless you're rich. You have a good system. If your system runs well, I would search for a new game instead.

Agree with sosofm. No matter what you are going to add it's going to give 10-20% gain in the games (up to say 40% if you are spending a fortune). However, you are going to reach bottleneck somewhere sooner or later (MB?).
I would suggest:
1) upgrade now to Sandybridge or AM3+ if you're AMD fan
2) keep average FPS until next big hardware shows up (likes of ATI 7 series etc.)
