New System built for £1000 or less

Hi guys, as the title says, I am pushing it at that price so I can go no further.
I have a Gigabyte 3D Aurora case and a 8800GT OC that I could use if pushed but the rest is pretty old as its a Socket 939 mobo, Coolermaster PSU is rated at 480 so I might need another also.

Thanks for that, but it looks like I will have less to spend

I have....
Gigabyte 3D Aurora case
X-fi extreme gamer sound
8800GT OC graphics
Coolermaster 480w PSU
I have 5 X 120mm fans running as its overclocked at the minute.
Looks like I may just have 5-600 notes to spend so I might have to keep some bits.
Obviously I am going to need a new mobo, memory and Cpu, something that I can upgrade in the future so the mobo is going to be the big question.

What's the main uses?

evohicks · 7 Mar 2010 at 00:33

Going to be gaming primarily and some video editing.

reiyushin · 7 Mar 2010 at 00:38

Ok, what res gaming?

evohicks · 7 Mar 2010 at 00:50

I have been on 1680x 1050 for a few months now but my graphics card went pop (RMA) and after using my old Radeon X850xt PE and lowering the res to 1600 x 900 the difference wasn't too bad, so I would say 1600 x 900 res. I have a 22" samsung monitor btw.

Somebody will hopefully be along to spec you a nice Phenom II or i5 750 in a while.
