Hey there guys. Ive bin inactive for a while, but the time has come for a new build, lots of changes i see in tech since i was last active so thats where y problem is.

My current system is shocking and mobo dead:
P4 3.00Ghz
Asus P48**** Somthing anyway
1GB of slow ram
6800GS 256 AGPx8

I have around £500 to spend on:
CPU, MoBo, Ram, GFX Card, HDD, Case and a PSU (if the case dnt come with one)

I have been looking at either a Pentium D 3.4Ghz or a Athlon X2 AM2 2.00Hgz

I currently use my PC for Web/Graphics work and did use it for gaming until my MoBo died a few months ago (its not bin the same since) I dont think the budget will push for SLi but would like the option to go SLi in a later stage.

I looked into changing my MoBo but sadly there is very few places that still sell 478skt P4 Mobos and it would mean buying more RAM, which would then mean havign to buy a new GFX card and drives. SO might as well just do a new build.

Cheers guys I know you can spec me something, it might be a bit of a challenge for you. :p

Wow guys you are good lol, Ill have a wee think about it all, gonne be a few weeks till I order, i could maybe push the budget up to £600. Like I asked before what can i OC a 1.83 C2D on stock cooling. then again even stock would be faster than my current P4 LOL
