Sorry to heap another one of these on you guys, but I've noticed there's soem really knowledgeable dudes on here. My 2.6Ghz 9800Pro aint cutting it no more and it's time to upgrade.

I already have k/m, monitor and Hard drives. Would need the rest and are on a £800-£850 budget.

Thanks.

First of all people will need to know whether you will overclock the system or not.
