[B] My current gaming pc is as follows:[/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fAgpL.jpg[/IMG] CPU: Intel i7 3770 3rd Generation Ivy Bridge Processor. 4 cores running at 3.4GHz / up to 3.9GHz with turbo boost. MEMORY: 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory. HARD DRIVE: 2TB Serial ATA II Hard Drive. CD & DVD RE-WRITER: DVD Read Speeds of 16x and write speeds of 22x CD Read speeds of 48x and write speeds of 48x GRAPHICS: ATI RADEON HD7770 1GB Graphics Card SOUND: 7.1 HD CH audio FUTURE EXPANSION: 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 Slot (PCIE: x4 mode) 2 x PCI Slots _____________________________________________________ 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.

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