Hello all,

I recently bought the game The Witcher (which I'm loving btw), and I suddenly realised how out of date my PC now seems to be. So I'm thinking of getting a few bits and bobs, or maybe a whole new system.

At the moment, I have the following:

MBoard: MSI P965 Platinum
CPU: Core Duo E6300
GFX: ATI X800 XT
MEM: 2GB TwinX Corsair 6400

I have been reading reviews on the E6850 and Q6600 CPUs, and I have decided that I'd like to go for one or the other. The same applies to the GFX, as I'd like either the GeForce 8800 GT (512mb) or the ATI HD 3870.

Can I buy either of these components and keep my motherboard + memory, or would I need to buy new ones of these too?

Thanks in advance, I should also mention that I don't intend to overclock anything, as I can't get my head around the whole subject :)
