New Hardware Time?

[Dead and Gone]

OK about time, I think, to upgrade my rig. With all these new games coming out and I don't think my rig can take it.

I've got at the moment an AMD 2.4 Core2 and a 7950Ultra with 1gb Nvidia card. The CPU is the 939 type I beleave.

Anyways I'm looking at a Intel Solution as I've been AMD for many years and have heard good things about Intel. I basicly need A CPU Motherboard, Graphics card, memory, Power Supply to match and a nice case as I've got the rest from my old rig. Currently running Vista 64.

Budget is about £850

any help would be most welcome

the 8800gt is nearly as fast as the 8800gtx, you decide if you want to spend twice as much for a tiny gain in performance (i suggest no)
