Advice on future upgrades...

[gr!m]

Hello all, just finished my budget gaming build and was curious on what I should do next once I get a few more greenbacks.

Current Specs:

Asus Evo ATX Am3 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 055 BE @ stock speeds w/Xigmatek Rifle
OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB DDR3 1600
XFX XXX 5770 1GB
OCZ 600w PSU
Western Digital Black 640GB HDD

Just wondering where I would see the best speed increases.
Should I???

1. Go crossfire and get a second 5770
2. Get a SSD for windows and app installs
3. Get another 4GB of RAM for my memory intensive things like Vue, 3D Max, and Photoshop.

Any ideas for some increases in speed?

Also I tried OCing the chip. I get to 3.8 on stock volts, boots into Windows. Unfortunately it gets unstable when doing renders.

Also which is the best third party cooling solution for the 5770? I'd like to keep it below 60 degrees and mines gotten up to 71....ouch.

1) Not a good idea with that PSU you have
2) Best choice IMO
3) Second best choice.

Thanks Danny. I figured with all the great deals on SSDs right now why not look into one.
