Ok i think its about time for an upgrade so...

Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB)
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Team Xtreem 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)

Just wondering if i could improve on any of this? keeping within a decent price range of course

Impressive setup that. Perhaps you could go for the 4300 instead of the 6300? It has lower cache but can be overclocked easier. Less £££ too.

Are you possibly getting confused with the 6600 and the 6300? Both the 4300 and 6300 have 2mb L2 cache but the 4300 has a higher multiplier.

Other than that it looks like a nice system.

Yeah sorry its not the cache thats different its the FSB I was referring to there got mixed up. lol.

I was going to let my RAM go for £130, but saw it go on the bay for £170, so i've rekindled my thoughts about upgrading from A64 to Conroe and the above system you have is EXACTLY what i'm getting as soon as all these cheques clear for drum equipment.

OCZ 2GB EB DDR PC-4000, the stuff is probably the best pair of sticks on the S939 market.

Have absolutely no idea about the value of your sticks second hand though mate. Soz.
