Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading, as I recently got two gtx 260's given to me, my mobo only supports one, and it's even having problems supporting one as it's such an old mobo and I dont think my psu is up the the job either. It only supports ddr2 also (it's a gigabyte ga73pvm-s2h)
So decided to bite the bullet and upgrade, this rig will only be for gaming and I'm pretty close to exceeding my budget as it is.
Intel Core i5-2500K -£155.99
MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard -£144 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-188-MS
OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply -£65

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3 £53.99

Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller £44.99
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-037-ZA
Total £463.96
I plan on using my current hdd, and monitor, is there anything I'm missing as I don't want to order then realise I cant finish and get playing and any advice you guys can give?
