Hi guys,

I have £200 to spend on upgrading my pc. I am unsure what would be the best upgrade, or upgrades, for my money. Bear in mind that I can also factor in money from selling the part I am replacing. My main use is for gaming at 1600x1080

System:
Antec 300
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
i7 920 @3.4Ghz with Sythe Mugen 2
3Gb DDR3
GTX 275 896Mb
1Tb Samsung spinpoint F1
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
CD/DVD combo

So where would my money be best spent? I'm leaning towards more ram, with possibly £100 left over. Or, selling my gtx275 and getting a 5870/470? Or an SSD?

Any advice welcome!

Agreed.

But if you must, RAM should be first, then maybe a new Video Card.

Thanks guys. I was half leaning towards ram anyway. What about cases though? I really like the look of either the Sliverstone FT02B-W or the Corsair 800D. Both also fit with my plans to water cool down the road.
 
You may look forward to upgrade your audio gear.. Like getting a sound card and/or moving upto a 5.1 speaker setup.. Get yourself a DVD-RW drive though.. They are very cheap..
