Been about a year since I've upgraded anything and I'm not sure what to upgrade next. I've got around £200 to spend

Current system
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
Mother Board: Asus P5KC (PCIe 16x)
RAM: 6GB (1GB x 2 Corsair DDR2 333Mhz / 2GB x 2 Corsair XMS DDR2 400Mhz)
Windows Version: Windows 7 Professional 64
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB
Disk Drive: System 64GB SSD / Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1.0TB
DVD/CD-ROM Drive: PIONEER BD-RinW BDR-205 ATA Device
Ethernet: 1 gigabit

I'm thinking video card but not sure what advantage I will get over the GTX560 at this price point.

why does it need to go faster?
not seen you on games for a while - might be cause im pissed when your on and i dont remember :twisted: :scratch:

dont wast your money on a SSD on that system the rest will be a bottle neck - keep saving like said. there is nothing wrong with that system tbh unless you want ot play bf3 on 3 monitors at 1080p
