Amd 4800+ 2.5 ghz
Asus M2N-MX Mobo
2Gb something or other ram
Built in graphics card
Some random case

I have £100 to spend now, and another £100 in a month or so

So i was thinking upgrade to either a second hand Dual core and intel supported mobo or upgrade to a better AMD cpu.

And then in a months time, spend my £100 on a new GPU

And with the £40 i have spare at the moment buy a new Case

Is that the right way to go about upgrading my system?

Oh btw, i have the £100 to spend now, but won't actually recieve the part untill the 26th (my birthday) which is when ill have the other £100.
 
I'd probably suggest that you wait until you have all the cash, it'll make the upgrade easier. Then I'd recommend something along the lines of an E2180, the Gigabyte P31 DS3L and an 8800GT since I'm guessing you don't want to wait around a bit more to see how the new graphics cards from Nvidia and ATI change things.

Yeah i was thinking of an E2200 so i can clock it to like 3ghz :) and im sure the new cards will push the price of current cards down, so i can wait :)
