Improvements on my pc

Headshot

I know well I can get a huge improvement on my pc by getting the GTX 670 but im looking for small medium priced stuff that can improve my pc

my current spec is

Corsair A70 (Sockel AM2/AM2+/AM3/775/1156/1366)
2x Palit Geforce GTX 570, 1280MB, PCI-Express
Samsung SH-223C bare schwarz SATA
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1000GB, SATA II
Intel Core i5-2500K Box, LGA1155
MSI P67A-GD53 (B3), Intel P67, ATX, DDR3
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card
2x Scythe Slip Stream SY1225SL12L - Case fan - 120 mm
Fractal Design Define R3 Series ATX Case - Black Pearl
Corsair CMPSU-750HX Professional Series 750W Power Supply

Love to get the pc a bit quieter to if possible. There's a dial on the back of the pc which is suppose to turn down the fans but I think that cant work because of the fans or somthing (cant remember)

Worth upgrading anything else?

Maybe a new quieter case etc ?

Get an SSD and a fan controller. Crucial's SSDs have been dirt cheap over the last while.

Oh sorry I forgot to mention I have a Crucial M4 64GB SSD 6,4cm (2,5")

Tell me more about a fan controller

The nzxt sentry fan controller is nice, otherwise have a look on some hardware sites for cheaper alternatives.

I presume thats easy to install?

Yeah that's the one. It's easy to install.

Are the Scythe Slip Stream fans in push pull on the A70?

In terms of fans controllers I have paid Eur20 and Eur40 for ones. There is a huge difference in quality and ease of use. A cheap touch screen just doesnt sound right. That being said I have no experience with it.

I have a Kaze Master in my build at the moment and it works well. Keeps the fans rpm nice and low for general use and once the temps go up they kick up a few gears. All you need from your controller really.

Can you set automatic presets or something? Or do you have to manually set the fans speeds depending on weather you gaming or browsing or whatever each time?
