Ok well I'm planning to upgrade very soon and I want to know what you guys think / or what I should change. My budget isnt great - its already at its max but if you guys would change anything just let me know.


XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX Edition 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT73G-UDD7) (GX-079-XF) - £140.94

Intel Pentium 4 805 Dual Core "LGA775 Smithfield" 2.66GHz (533FSB) - Retail (CP-116-IN) - £86.89
Overclocking to (hopefully) 3.8Ghz so buying:
Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower (Socket 939/754/478/775) CPU Cooler (HS-015-ZA) - £32.84

Asus P5WD2 Premium Intel 955X (LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-105-AS) - £140.94

G.Skill 2GB DDR2 LA PC2-5300 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-5400PHU2-2GBLA) (MY-012-GS) - £117.44

By my calculations that little lot comes to £620ish including Del and VAT...

This spec is cheaper and performs better. I went for 939 to keep price down as low as possible.
