hiya everyone

ok currently i got given my brother old pc which i do think needs an overhall before i sit her next to my current pc atm the guts of it contain a ASUS P4P800S motherboard (( i not entirely sure how good this is as i hevn't looked at tech for over 2 years or so cos my current pc is ok-ish))

((i'll edit on the processor size now when i plug her in but i'll probbaly update with motherboard if i find a nice bundle))

a gefore 6800 G-card

2 gb ram

hdd - err around 120 not that that matters

i currently don't have a budget for updating yet as i still need to budget other lovely bills first >.<
i'm looking to speand around £200 on a gcard may get new motherboard depending on port slots i need for gcard.
i will get more ram lastly i want a computer that would easily run swotor when it comes out as thats the only pc game that intrests me atm

if anyone has ideas please let me know

hi there, thank you for the quick replies, i guessed the motherboard was dated well the whole thing really what i would need are maybe if possible some suggestions for a new build.

happily after making this post my boss called offering me overtime ((first time this year and hopefully start of more overtime ))

so hopefully i'm looking for a motherboard bundle hopefully AMD i've never had a pentium and my knowledge of them is minimal at best and probbally around £200 for a decent kick ass graphics card.

thats the only thing but i would need to find a motherboard bundle with same size/dimensions as current one as i would like to keep the case (( really nice coolmaster case))

i would be tempted by that by the one review on it said it would be a tight fit with a chunky graphics card on it.

and considering i would be in line to spending £200 or maybe more on a gcard i would guess it's gonna be more chunky than a lion bar in a match box kinda thing. not that i want it to roar but i do.

Edit: although i have done no research into graphics cards yet hehe

thats a stunning suggestion i have to check the size of the mobo for my case but other than that yum yum

£457 without case which is a nice number to look at

btw my case is a coolmaster Cooler Master ATC-201

ok going to be more exspensive as i just noticed everything you posted was a this week only price

ahh i never knew the case i had issues with air circulation.

grrr now i have to look at other cases, the one suggested is nice but this is gonna be plugged into my tv so i may need something that looks flashy whilst being good.

i know looks over performance can soemtimes be an issues now just have to find a case thats around 50-60 quid.

but again thank you for the good advice guys if you wanna bless me with more on cases

feel free
