I got my work to buy me an SSD for a development machine, and once you taste its speed it is very difficult to go back. So i think an SSD is top on my list to get.
Hmm, SSD vs. Newer GPU... Both offering significant performance increases for certain things. It's hard for me to decide. I mean, I don't game as much as I used to because my GPU's feeling a little dated. So I mostly surf and listen to music. Which makes SSD a bit overkill, but that's the very definition of a gaming computer. But having quicker boots will breath new life into this old computer and get me to use it more frequently.
