replace the GFX only imho - the rest of it is ok. save your money for when the next gen comes at least as its not enough of a performance jump to justify £1000

Cheers for advice. Looking at benchmarks looks like not a massive improvement over a oc'd 920

So I'm thinking 7970 and the higher resolution 27" this time. And nov/dec do a CPU mobo change!

Or

7950cf or 7990.... But I do fancy a sexy high resolution display!
