I purchased this for an extremly low price of only £590($940) so have around £400($650) left for further upgrades and are wanting some advice on what kind of things i could purchase. Currently the PC is missing a cooling system so it only has 3 standard case fans so any reccomended upgrades for that would be great. I live in the UK so parts that are US only that i would have to pay for shipping are to be avoided if possible. I mostly use it for gaming(CS:GO, GW2, Diablo 3, Payday and a few others) but i will also be using it for HD video editing and photoshopping. Currently i am using my TV as my monitor so possible monitor upgrades would be great but they are mainly secondary
Your GPU is holding your CPU back. I would see if I could sell the HD7770 and get a better GPU, like the GTX670. In case your PSU is good enough.
3 fans is enough, a proper CPU cooler might be useful though.

Ill look into selling the HD7770 since its brand new hopefully get most of the money back i paid for it and look into getting a 670, as for the cooler are there any specific coolers you could reccomend or would any CPU cooler be just as good?

If it is bumped anyway, I can't hold myself back saying that you could get a SSD aswel.
