Big Spec help

[lvad48]

Hi im struggling to get my head around a lot of things regarding my current build...

all i have so far is a little antec sonata 2 with a 450watt psu.

I want to build a relatively sweet system performance wise going for a tri ore amd high end build but this is where my issues start.

I have no idea how big a replacement psu i will need as i know my little 450 won't cut it...

All in all i want to spend £500 max on this build needing a high end cpu, mobo, ddr3 ram,goodish graphics and a good solid psu

Im not really buyist in terms of graphics, i've always been an amd fan boy because of good speed and reliability but would like to try overclocking eventually. I know for what i want £500 is a bit miserly.

I would also like to know if my case will still cut it.

Cheers guys in advance

Keep your case and Install W7. Even pop a 120mm fan on the intake on your case to help the cooling.
