So my computer blew up today...

With that CPU that pushes you to about £100.

Also you can upgrade in the future, but with that mobo you're very limited on overclocking if htat's what you'd want to do.

Personally I'd pick up a cheap socket 775 mobo for £30-odd and pick up a Q6600 for £50. Then save for a proper upgrade in the future.

Hmmmm... I guess that makes sense. Thanks! I'll do that! :D
 
Sorry for bumping this peeps but I didn't want to make a new thread.

I have a new proposal!

What MoBo and CPU would you spec me if I could spend £107?

Thank you,
Billy :cool:

Do you have DDR3 memory or DDR2? If you have DDR3 then I'd be tempted to go Pentium G620 at this point in time. A Z68 board would be nice if you could squeeze it into your budget too. This way, you only have to upgrade the CPU at a later date and you can have a fully overclockable 2500k. Although the H61/67 boards are cheaper, you don't have the overclocking capabilities of the Z68 which means if you wanted to go 2500k and have a go at overclocking in the future you'd need a new motherboard as well. All depends on what you can afford.

I have DDR2 RAm at the moment, and I can afford anything up to £107 combined :D
