Looking to give my system a boost of life on a tight budget. Currently I have a Q6600 @ 3.0GHz, 2GB DDR533 RAM, 512MB HD3870. CPU is fine but I have hit the limit with my current board and RAM. I'd like to hit atleast 3.6Ghz.

Asus ATI Radeon HD 4870 Dark Knight 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £129.98

Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £97.99

Corsair XMS2 DHX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX Dual Channel (TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX) £37.98

(£33.03)
Sub Total : £231.27

How does the above specs seem and would it be a worth while boost?
 
Could try that but the PCI-E slot is version 1.0 and runs at 8x :( so would hamper my upgrade to a faster card.
