I'd change the PSU/case for the Antec Sonata II as it offers a 450w PSU which gives a bit more headroom. I'd change the hard drive for a SATA Seagate 7200.10 but that will barely cost anything to change. Other than that you could try putting whatever is left towards either a new CPU or an X1800XT however either will be outwith your budget at current.

Agree. PSU & or Case :cool:

EDIT: If not Sonata II, at least the Antec NSK4400 Mini Tower Case - 380W SmartPower PSU (CA-052-AN) which I believe has a more modern PSU ;)

For that price that is the best card. Besides you have until next Thursday ;)
 
i have sonata 2 with athlon 3800 and 7600gt, handles it no problem and the case is extremely roomy, plus it looks great, is that is a 7600gt for £90 thats an absolute steal, mine was £120 and still good value!!!
