Thinking of buying these

[Chris-.-]

Ok I've got so far,

Asus P5K/EPU Mobo
Q6600 @ stock (2.0)
4GB DDR2 800Mhz Ram
650W PSU
2 Hard-Drives
Nvidea Super clocked GTX 460

Think it's time for an upgrade

Now I'm thinking..

CPU
Heatsink
2x RAM
MOBO

Open to suggestions about the £350 mark, thanks.

Don't need an i7

Looking at the mobo, heatsink at the mo, will prob change the mobo infact after a fast glimpse

Can't argue with this. Easily your best choice. Although the motherboard can be changed for your own preference.

i would drop the 16 GB of ram to 8GB. not need for 16gb unless you know you will be hammering with some applications you use? if its just for gaming just get 8 and upgrade mboard to below
