check my gaming spec

Looking to upgrade to a new PC, with the system pushed towards hardcore gaming more than anything else.

I doubt there is much in my current system that is worth keeping to be honest but I have:

MSI neo2 platinum
amd x2 3800+
1gb corsair xms 3200 (2x 512mb)
256mb x800pro non-vivo
160gb SATA
30gb IDE
60gb IDE
Soundblaster live 5.1 digital
Antec Sonata I (modded with 4x 120mm fans)

I know I'm looking at a conroe system, but I'd really like this system to be the top dog as I'm looking to play ET:QW in the new year a hell of a lot. I also play WoW, but that hardly strains any system imo. I currently play BF2 so obviously 2gb of ram is a must, likewise an xfi card would be nice

Limit is £900 - have fun guys

why dont u just upgrade what youve got and oc the X2 3800+??

Cause the 3800 is just completely outperformed by just about everything, and I was quite disappointed by it
