Mini upgrade - £200

[lolage]

Looking at getting a new hard drive, new CPU and new case.

Any obvious swaps you'd do here?

Cheers, Ben.

What's your current build - completely? And what do you use it for?

cpu-e2180
mobo-Gigabyte DS3R
ram-2gb OCZ PC2-6400
gpu-8800GTX
power supplyHX 520
case-some crappy Akasa case

Use it mostly to play games, but more recently getting into photoshop.

Looks very good to me, and would suit your needs well. I wouldn't swap any of those with your budget.

And get another 2gb memory kit when you got a few more reddies.

As others have said get the Samsung F3 500gb and also another 2gb kit when you can like stulid said.

on a skt775 platform I'm sure you could squeeze more out of your hard earned £200. 2nd hand 775 cpu's are easily acquirable as there are so many about, and the prices aren't bad. I've also seen some 1TB drives for around the same price your gonna pay for that 500. Look around!

seldNofSparta has a point im sure you can pick up a quad core from a well known auction site......Also seldNofSparta mind sending me link to the 1tb drives (email in trust)
