I buy a large crate of beer, a PS4, and a baseball bat.

You could get a second 670 or try o sell it and get something like a R9 290 aftermaket. I would also say maybe a new keyboard and/or mouse? More SSD/HDD.

Quote me to get a reply!

If you really want/need to spend 250$ to upgrade your PC and that 128GB SSD is all the storage you've got, buy 1 - 3TB HDD or two.

 

If not, why not save just in case if sh*t hits the fan?

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

Yeah Lewis, it would be the GPU to be honest, sell your current GPU then upgrade, or add another 670.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It's tough even finding a 670 these days, although I did find some on eBay, but that seems a little sketchy.

Great input though, really appreciate it.

Wannabe enthusiast...proud owner of a 2005 STi though. BRAAAP!

I would save for a custom watercooling loop. That is what I would do.
