Hi guys, question/advice thread really:

Current system is a Athlon 64 x2 5200, Asus M2N32-Sli and a GTX 260.

I cant decide if to try the Beta BIOS and get a Phenom II quad core of some description for ~£100

or

Spend ~£300 to £400 on a new CPU/Mobo/RAM combo, if I do that whats worth getting? I was looking at the AMD x6 cores or an i5- i7s seem a bit too pricey for my budget :(

I know its all a bit vague but I guess the bottom line is can someone spec me a CPU/mobo/RAM combo for 300-400?
 
cheers thrifles, are MSI boards any good? When I was big on building (admittedly) it was quite a few years ago some of the MSI boards were a bit flakey.

From what I've read on here most people seem to rate the intel chips over AMD at the moment?
