future upgrade

[wobbo]

hi all,

thought i would seek some advice from you guys/gals, theres a new game coming out this year, "Days of War" and i know my old pc toaster wont be good enough to run it, problem is.....no cash.

! have some parts that i hope to use when i am able to upgrade, they are as follows....

case..Antec 900
1TB Hitachi HDD
120 GIG Samsung EVO SSD
Corsair CX600 PSU
Artic Freezer 64 pro cooler
OS win7

so basicly looking for Mobo, CPU, GPU,Ram.

i dont have a budget to go by, but my guess would be around the £400/£500 mark or there abouts.
would like to go for an intel cpu as i have had Amd for years and fancy a change.

Any ideas/advice would be welcome

cheers

My build is just a starting point but there are many variations according to budget or little tweaks for maybe an extra £10 to £15 .
