CPU, MB + Ram around £200?

[rena0783]

hiya firstly i know its a tight budget but its hopefully only got to last until i finish college next year.

I currently have a Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 2.00GHz, Asus P5LP-LE (Leonite2) + 2 GB of ram that came from a prebuild hp a6220.uk.

I'm using a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS but i had to bake it over the weekend to get it working again lol and do have a Nvidia GTX 460 to go in whatever i buy, it just won't play nice with what i have at the minute.

Main uses are going to be HD videos, world of warcraft but i'm not too bothered about graphics and the net. I'm all good with building it myself cause i've had this one apart to renew paste, clean etc.

Hoping somebody can help and i can stretch the budget a bit but not much.

Thanks

Oh and a psu for a decent price too but not included in CPU etc budget. Cheers
