£500 - mobo, cpu, gpu, ram.

[Psamiad]

Hi all,

It's been a while since I built a system, so I'm a bit out of the loop with current hardware. I'm upgrading my system and am looking to get a new mobo, cpu, gfx card and ram. I have all other components including sound card and good quality 650w power supply, hard drive, monitor etc.

Gaming at 1900x1200 is my priority so I want the best bang-for-buck, and am happy to overclock (in fact, I want to, it's fun). My budget is around £500, but will go higher if the gains are worth it.

Any suggested setups?

Thanks!
