Thanks for the link
780i is technically great for OCing, brilliant and very 'fine' options in the BIOS, but it fails from the aforementioned heatsink problem - they're fairly nice (for a S775 mobo; i3/5/7 ones are awesome) but they're seemingly covered in some crappy plastic to make them visually fit the rest of the mobo.
So, from OCing perspective, my next upgrade will probably be a couple of nice copper heatsinks for Nbridge and Sbridge, and in the long term a triple radiator for a WCing setup.
General-upgrades-wise, I'm currently saving for a 40GB or 60GB Intel SSD for my netbook. For my desktop, I don't want anything specific, just an i7+nice OCing mobo+6GB DDR3.
Edit: i40 is starts just a week before my 18th so I'm sure my parents would be happy to pay - £72 is quite good.
