Weaknees = AMD

Upgrade = Intel Core 2 Duo

How much you wanting to spend? Is the PC going to be used for gaming?

I game, but im not a hardcore gamer.

Budget would be at the most 200 quid i guess

The rig has already been built. Just thought id mention.

Thats a solid system but for £200 you cant really afford to replace the mobo/cpu/ram which you will need to have to do if yuo are going Intel. Next logical choice for £200 is to get the 320mb 8800GTS, but personally I would just save up for a bit longer and go for a system overhaul as I doubt theres any games you cant run properly on that system right now?
