I'm concidering upgrading my ram and GPU

To: ASUS R9280X-DC2-3GD5 - 3GB
From: ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5

And

To: Corsair Dominator Platinum - 2x8GB DDR3 2400MHz PC3-19200 CL10
From: Kingston HyperX - 4x4GB DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 CL9

Total cost to me about £450
enough of an improvement to warrent the cost? would I even notice?

your synthetic benchmarks will notice. also, you'll be able to run Crysis at 19.7773452 instead of 19.7463481 FPS

You might as well put in a few more quid and buy a new laptop. Lot of money for what seems to me to be very close to what you got already

You can upgrade your RAM pretty cheaply and should see a future benefit. I wouldn't bother upgrading the GPU for another year...consoles are still holding back graphical need, wait for devs to get their heads around them.

Right,
Maybe throw out the old standard Intel Cooler then and try out some aqua-cooling instead

Are you overheating or annoyed by the noise?

Sounds like you just want to spend some cash. Book a cheap flight somewhere and stay in a hotel for a night. Or just go on a massive bender with your mates :)
