I'm looking to upgrade, I've around £500-600 to spend. I want to upgrade my M/board, processor, graphics and RAM.

Ive spotted on a certain auction site a ASUS Striker, Q6600, BFG 8800GTX and 4Gb DDR2 corsair (not sure of speed) RAM for £589

Any suggestions on what i should get much appreciated!

Thanks :D:D:D
 
Welcome to the forums. That isn't too bad a price if you really really want a Striker but what is the warranty like on those parts i.e. are they new retail? If you are buying new then something like the below system would be fine.

It is a 680i based motherboard and I believe when it works it is good but it is an SLi capable motherboard and I've never been much interested in them since I don't see the need in SLi for 98% of people so I'm afraid I can't help too much other than saying that it does seem like a decent price provided the returns policy is solid as well.
