Hi,
Here's my set-up:
Asus M4A79XTD EVO
2 times HD 4850 512MB (in crossfire)
AMD[FONT=arial] Phenom II X4 [/FONT]965 Black Edition
6GB 1333mhz RAM (Kingston)
128GB OCZ Vertex Plus Series SATA II SSD[FONT=arial] [/FONT]
600w coolermaster silent PSU
W7 O/S

nothing overclocked
What is the next best upgrade to make in order to get a noticeable difference in gaming?

thanks in advance
 
Well If you want better gaming performance. The upgrade would be the GPU. What is the budget you have for the upgrade?
 
Where do you live? Would you be able to purchase online? Maybe consider grabbing a HD 7850 or 7870. Either of those cards would be a nice upgrade.
 
Is that £200 plus the sale of your 4850's?

For £200 your best bet is probably the 7870, if you can stretch it to £300 then the GTX 670 is a great card.
 
thanks guys - if I do go for the 7870, will there be any remaining 'bottlenecks'?
& Yes, it's £200 including whatever I sell
