Well my motherboard croaked it tonight and took the CPU with it! So I need an upgrade urgently! I'll be ordering tonight and have come up with this spec:

All I need is PSU, CPU, CPU FAN, Motherboard. I already have a 2gb kit of ocuk 6400 800mhz ram thats unused, a 320GB SATA HD and 7600gt GPU (i'll upgrade later) and case.

My budget was meant to be £200 for these items but as you can see i'm a little over. Any body got any suggestions before i run it through the till? I will be overclocking!

Thanks!
 
Looks good to me. I don't know enough about that CPU cooler to attest to its effectiveness though. One similarly-priced one that I have used is the Arctic Cooling Freezer.

That motherboard will probably limit your overclock more than the CPU though.

I think you mis-read I will be over clocking! Thanks so far!

Edit: Ah you were too quick :p

You reckon i should cut back on the cpu and upgrade the board? Can you recommend a good board/CPU combo?
