What should my next upgrades be?

[KapteinFruit]

So I'm thinking of getting an HAF x, but I'd like to have as much input about my choices as possible.

So do you guys think the HAF X will be a good choice? Would you recommend something else?

Should I get an SSD after I've gotten the HAF X? Or should I just let my PC be slow and maybe add a second graphics card instead?

Should I get 4GB extra Mushkin Redline so I got a total of 8GB? I do some video work and image stuff. (Haven't received the first RAM kit yet.)

Should I get those braided extension cables to make my PC look very good? If so should I get it before the SSD/graphics card?

And is there anything you guys would recommend me to get? What would you recommend me not to get?

I know my threads have been bad threads for the most part, but I'm getting used to the forums and getting to know the people here so bear with me for a couple of weeks.

Here's my current specs:

Intel Core i5-750 @ 4,0GHz. All cores below 67c. And 67c was a peak temp. It's usually 65-66c. Noctua NH-D14.

2GB Crucial 1608MHz RAM. Soon to get 4GB Mushkin Redline 1600MHz. They just have to arrive at my brothers place.

XFX ATI HD 5870. 900MHz & 1300MHz.

500GB Seagate Barracuda.

Cooler Mater HAF 922.

Enermax Revolution 85+ 1250W.

EVGA Classified 200.

Asus Xonar Essence STX.

Post some pics fella, alot of what you are asking about is asthetics...

The 922 is a good case, Im really not a fan of the HAF-X's looks so Id be tempted to say put the money into kit rather than making needless upgrades.

I don't have the transfer cable for my W995 so I can't post pics. I got some old pics back when I used an AMD Phenom II X3 720, though. I could post that, but I'm not sure how that would help. Want me to post them? I'll take a quick look for the transfer cable too. And I really hate my HAF 922 now. And it's scratched which really bothers me.

looks like you have a nice system already

isn't the HAF X very similar?

It kind of is, but at the same time not. The HAF X got some great cable management while the HAF 922 got some very bad cable management. The HAF X is black inside, the HAF 922 is bare aluminium. The HAF X is much bigger. The 922 is by all means big too, but not as big. I hate the mesh on the side of the 922. All of those small things make me dislike the case. I do really like the ATCS 840 and it seems as if it's a very beloved case here on OC3D, but it's bare aluminium on the inside as well and it doesn't have great cable management. If there was a case with good cable management, a sleeker look and as cold as the HAF X I'd chose that one over the HAF X, but the closest thing to that is the 800D/700D and they're both too hot for good air cooling.
