BFG gone bust and my card broke so I need a new one

To be honest, I recommend an SSD because for me it was a big upgrade. Quadcores are now being used by games so should be another good upgrade but with that amount of cash (plus the one you make of selling your current mobo, chip, ram) you could always get an i5 760, a new P55 mobo and 4 gigs of DDR3 ram. It depends if you want to spend those £250 or only about £150.

IME, I use my SSD as a boot drive and for my main game and office apps but that is it. You only want it to speed up critical stuff, the remainder can go onto your current HDD.

Also, IMO, SSD is the single best upgrade you can make onto a computer right now. That is my opinion only of course :)
 
Get a 5870 for £180 is a steal.
SSD is a good purchase too if you like you windows booting up quicker but for large files its a bit meh.
 
Interesting!

I had not really considered selling my other parts,

Of course..... Making a new system is always appealing :)

May I ask in here what the parts might be worth or should I ask elsewhere?

Also, is there more money in selling them separately.

Ps.... I ordered the OC card yesterday :)
