I did that in post#7 with a better p55 motherboard with more modern features.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. That should be enough to think about for now. No need for new builds as im sure ill find something and thanks for the builds some interesting ideas there. :)
 
One and one quick question. Is their any new cpus or gfx cards coming out soon as if their is then i might wait till then and try and grab stuff ppl flog when they upgrade to latest stuff lol presuming prices come down in mm for the parts.
 
all the new stuff is out from ATI/Nvidia and Intel.

AMD are yet to release socket AM3+ motherboards and Bulldozer cpu's.

If it was my money, this is what I'd get... I know it's not Intel, or nVidia, but it's pretty much best bang for buck right now...

In all honesty I also prefer nVidia to ATI, just had better experiences with nVidia.. but I'd still take that build, it's simply better for the value you have....

tbh for £500 if you don't go down the amd route your mad because intel price for performance ~£500 you aint going no where but amd £500, you got yourself a killa in my opinion, heres my rig near enuf and imho its much better than an intel build at the same price

i know its over £500 but an intel build at that price wouldn't be as good and you wouldn't have as many other accessories.
