I posted a varient of this on the CPU board and I'm not sure where this belongs but....

I have £275 max budget.

I also have a Radeon 9800XT 256 GFX which I want to keep as I can't afford a new one.

I have broken P4 3.2 (Socket 478)

I need a new system.

I would like it to be 64bit but don't need it to be.

I can't find any 478 CPU's on OCUK but I don't really like shopping from anywhere else on the internet (bar amazon!!). So I need a Socket 774-5 or 939 system.

I do need it to be easily upgradable in 6-8months. i.e. motherboard that will be able to take top of line CPU's then.

I have no idea what to do.

Help. Please...

I was always going to get a OEM CPU the retail ones are poor at best.

I was going to get the Zalman as I have liked them in the past, is it worth the extra £10 to get the Zalman rather than the Artic Freezer 64?

Sorry to double post but is the Asrock mobo the best in the <£75 price range coz I'd really rather get one big order from OCUK than lots of little ones. I live of the coast of Scotland so postage is problem.
