I want more of it. (Dont ask why, I dont know myself, just do) Looking at my build below, what would you change? I am thinking:

1. New MB and CPU

2. New MB that will support my current 960t

3. Faster RAM (My current RAM is PC1200-1600 but is only running at 10 something)

4. Same MB, upgraded CPU

5. Anything else you guys suggest?

My upgrade budget is $200, but it can go to $300 if it involves a MB and CPU as I should be able to easily get a hundred out of my current MB and CPU.
 
What you've got at the moment is fine. Which SSD have you got? If it's only a SATA II 3GB/s SSD, upgrade to a SATA III 6GB/s SSD if your board supports it.

You can try overclocking your CPU if you have an aftermarket cooler. If not, get one and overclock your 960T.

You could also do with a better graphics card, the Radeon 6870 would be a good choice.

The SSD is Sata III 6GB/s

The 960t is overclocked to 3.4 Ghz, but I have seen some benchmark comparisons with 960t's overclocked to 4Ghz. I have been reading the overclocking thread, seems there is a lot to it. Currently it is overclocked using MSi overclocking software.
 
Do you have aftermarking cooling on that 960T? If so, push it up to 4.0GHz and do it through the BIOS.

What's the problem you have with the PC? Do you just want more, or is it running slow or anything else?

By the way that 1000W PSU is complete overkill.
