Its upgrade time....
Budget of around the £400 mark this is just for the Mobo Ram CPU and Heat sink.
Are the below components a good combo?
Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Tracer RED 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Dual *REMOVED*
G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PQ PC2-8000C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ) ADDED as seems better value for money than the Crucial stuff (thanks Rab).
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.66GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB)
Asus Silent Square Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 478/754/939/940/AM2/LGA775)
Recommendations welcome and thanks in advance.
