what do you use it for ?

2 possible options are going to 4gb of memory or a new graphics card, depending on what you use the system for.

I was possibly thinking quad core, 2900pro 512mb and 2gb ocz plat but lets all see each others opinions.

 

[thehmsjellyfish]

Any one any suggestions what i should do?

sell the E6420 @ 3.2ghz and X1950 PRO 512MB

get a q6600 another 2gb of ram and an 8800gtx

should be perfect then

How about peripherals? treat yourself to a new monitor perhaps?

8800GTX, or 2900Pro and a new monitor.

Mainly gaming, i dont need a new monitor so whats best i could do with £400 to my system.

Graphics, you have a nice clocking C2D so i would't go quad. 8800GT or 2900PRO/2950PRO.

No worries and possibly another 2gb of ram?

Not worth it. Do something else with the money.

Get yourself an 8800 GTS 320mb and use the other £200 or so for something better.

Your PC is fine. It's just lacking in the graphics department.
