After 4 years with a tired AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1GB of value ram, 9800 pro and 200gb hard drive. I thought it was time to upgrade. i recently re discovered gaming thanks to Company Of Heros (awesome) so that was the basis of this spec i had about 700 to spend and came up with this

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS4 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Tenth Anniversary Dual Channel Kit (TY2KIT12864AA663)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM x2
Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Total £724.83

I of course will be overclocking this when it arrives. I think its safe to say its a step up from my previous rig

i think ill do some before and after benchmarks to compare see how big of jump it is

Also consider this my current AMD Althon XP 2500+ @ 1.82GHz gets a slow 1minute 1 second in super pi 1M calculation where as a stock E6300 get about 30 seconds or so. technology as moved on
