or maybe sell it all and start a new build with the money i got from this one
+ the £100 im willing to spend

this upgrade i will be doing will last me to maybe xmas and then maybe il get some more upgrades

what do u guys think?.....

thx so much...i think i will do 1 of those 2...prob sell the mobo cpu and ram if i can...dono how much they will be worth...(would ebay be good place to sell?) (and as a package? or separate sales?)..

how much posts is free postage?
my friend told me about this site recently so im new but its really a great site :D


wat would a good hard drive for windows be? or will any be fine?..
i remember getting a 35gb rapture because it was supposed to be better for windows (god it was so loud)...donno if it really made a difference tho

i didnt know a new mobo would be so important and expensive...
btw how much better will this new spec be? 30% better? 50%?
