currently rocking the following spec



p35 ds3r
q9450 @3.6ghz
6970 @950/1450
8gig ram
2x 2tb storage drives
1x 750gig windows drive
850w ocz psu

and it all lives quite happily in an antec 300


i game at 1920x1080 so quite happy with my gpu for this and i'm really looking to get a bit more oomph with maybe a cpu/mobo/ram upgrade


so looking for a cpu/mobo min 8 gig ram setup for under £400 what would you folks recommend.
