Can anyone recommend a good one, or would it be best buying a new cpu/motherboard bundle?

i would say new cpu and Mb unless money is very tight

money is always tight - i was thinking of just the cpu, maybe keep it for a year and then go all out on a high spec gaming pc.

i currently run just
Intel Celeron 346 3.06mhz
3gb ddr2 ram
graphics card is an ASUS EN8500GT PCI Express x16 - 1 GB DDR2

cheers for the info - will start looking for a good moterboard/cpu bundle

you saw with features built in, like what?

as my current motherboard has a 775 socket, can't i already use core 2 CPUs?

Cheers for the help guys, decided to pick up a new motherboard in a few weeks now either way.

any one recommend one and a processor that can take 4x2gb (that way i can use my old ram )ram for around £150

For £110 I would grab these, will blow your socks off after a Celeron D
