Pc upgrade advice

Hey guys,

My current pc is very old and i need to start again!

However i already have the following components from work and my current ps, and would ideally like to use these, along with new parts!

Already have:
16gb (4x4gb) corsair 1600mz Ram
Antec p182 case
Ati Radeon HD 6870
700w Psu
Normal HDD
Monitor, keyboard etc whatever

So I'm looking for:

CPU
Mobo
Maybe even an SSD for windows?

It be curious what the best combinations are for £200 or £300 ?

it'll be used for Photoshop, 3ds max and some gaming.

Thanks in advance everyone! :cool:

Depending on how much photoshop and 3d work you do it might be advised to get an i7, maybe of the MM as it should improve things quiet a bit.

What's the make/model of the PSU?
Motherboard wise I would say
