    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST What should I upgrade to?

    A HD 7950 would be a better option since it's significantly cheaper than the GTX 670 and out performs it in Sleeping Dogs.

    Yes they do make quite a large difference especially in MMO's: In terms of prices for SSD's I'm not sure as there currently isn't an integrated system to buy components but you could call PCSpecialist on 0844 499 4000 for a price.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Sli upgrade

    Yes you would need to put another GTS450 in a free slot then use an Nvidia SLI bridge to connect the two together, it looks like this: You will need a 600w power supply for this and you'll need an ATX sized case as well (anything but the Stylish Piano Black Enigma Micro-ATX and InWIN Dragon...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Grounding Issue?
