Hi OCUK,

I recently pre-ordered Windows 7 for a great price and now i have decided to upgrade my current system so i don't have to buy another license.

I was looking at spending no more than £400 but the lower the better.

All i need are 4 core parts.

Motherboard, CPU, Ram and CPU Cooler.

i have decided to keep my current Graphics Card (4850 1gb) and HDDs until i get more money available to upgrade them. Once I have the new system up and running of course the below parts will more than likely be sold.

I use my PC for a lot of gaming and this year will be playing Left 4 Dead 2, Fifa 10 and FM10.

I also use a lot of VMs on my machine as well as to aid my learning with servers.

What do you guys think?

I am looking to go DDR3 and i5 as i think it makes more sense than a Quad at this point.

I am a little unsure though if my 650 watt Enermax will be enough to handle the new system though so please let me know what you think?

I would like to keep the 650 due to money saving reasons but am willing to upgrade should this not work out.
