£150 to spend on mobo, cpu & memory (well maybe a bit more!)

[Greebo]

Okay, selling my 939 mobo, cpu and memory and looking at going Intel.

Got about £150 from sale to spend but may put more to it if the gains are justified.

So for £150 what will run faster than my current spec?

Rest of system as per sig.

Will also consider 2nd hand so please include those choices if total arounf £150.

And if you spec a system please try and rate how much quicker it would be please.

cheers

And assuming the Intel cpu overclocks, how will this system compare to my current one?

Is is worth putting the extra money to it to buy a 8000 processor?

Depends what you do with your pc really.

Upgrade on the cheap while my stuff is still worth money.

Would then have option to later upgrade to quad etc without spending a lot of money.
