With the upcoming release of Skyrim and BF3 i have wanted to upgrade my budget PC to something with a bit more substance im wanting it to be around the £300 mark however if you can get it lower that would be great

I just liek to check to see im not spending money where i dont need to be.

I have a Bitfenix Shinobi case and a CD drive so i dont need them, i also have a Phenom 2 x2 So no need for a CPU

What changes would you make?

Its a SATA CD Drive i bought it a few weeks ago to replace a broken one so thats all good, Thanks for the info glad i diddnt get the ram

yeh the ssd was just a cool added bonus for me and in all fairness if i needed too i can drop the hard drive and get a cheap upgrade of XP to windows 7, my xp is only 32 bit and i think its time to upgrade anyway

What Graphics card would suggest if i were to drop the ssd?

Ill check when i get home but im pretty sure it is already a DVD Drive, 4gb is fine am i right in thinking i need to upgrade to a 64 bit system, i would do anything to stay on XP

Thanks for this, im going to leave the Hardrive out for now and stick with my current 500gb one to keep the price down and enable me to use a cheap copy from software4students they only do the upgrade version
