Hey guys, I'm fairly new here and I wanted some insight on what would be most important to upgrade in my current build. I have 500$ to use to purchase hardware, and I was thinking I would get a SSD, more RAM, and a bigger hard drive, any other thoughts? Thanks!

RAM - Could go for 2 x 4G DDR3 1866. And sell your old stick on ebay.
SSD - 120GB will be good
HDD - Do you need extra space? If not, no point to get new HDD.

What is your main use? How about new GPU?
Do you overclock? How about CPU heatsink?

If you're a gamer and have $500 to upgrade your pc, I would definitely upgrade your gpu first and get something like a 7950/7870 instead of that 6770. Then I would think about geting an 8320 instead of the 4100 and then I would get more ram.
