Computer needs an upgrade and the parts i would like to replace would be

-Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 mATX Motherboard AMD Socket AM2
-AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+(Looking for a quad core upgrade probably)
-EZcool 550W power supply
-ocz DDR2 ram

Looking around the £300 price mark
Any help is appreciated thanks :)

Alternatively drop the CPU back to an athlon 630

Is good but a little steep for me :) and I really like the 965 so I cant really change that :(
What about that saphire PSU looks pretty decent?
 
I asked if he could and I also gave the option of how to reduce it if he couldnt, simples
Yeah the sapphire psu's are good but so are those xfx's, whichever really

LOL you say 1 thing in 1 thread then say another thing in another. your telling him to drop to a 640 and your slagging it in the other thread. MAKE UP YOUR MIND YOUR ALL OVER THE PLACE. :o

Add: just noticed that the post was edited over 2 hours later. so you edited it in. so your either a Lair or a hypocrite or both.

Yeah well at least these comments helped me choose a computer :S
oh wait was a random guy with the grammar of a 10 year old
 
Dont really know why were arguing but just to make my point
In the other thread the guy stated he couldnt go above 300, where as this OP stated around the £300 mark
The reason I edited the above was because Id selected the 965 in error, making it more expensive than necessary (hence why its now 40 over not 50), Id meant to select the 955 so I amended that
I did not **** off the 640, its a very good cpu, but the 955 is better, hence why I recomended it if the OP can afford to stretch his budget, as I stated if he cant go for the 630/640 it will still give a good machine
I dont know why you appear to be attacking me just because we have different opinions on what would be the better system, we both specced v similar builds, and at the end of the day its up to the OP to decide which he likes the look of, which is why in the other thread I provided links to benches/comparisons so the OP can make an informed choice

Anyway enough arguing with you

To the OP I amended the above to use the 955 instead of 965 as it saves a bit of money and is essentially the same chip, if you want to keep that then you could change the mobo to the following MSI 770 which will perform just as well but doesnt have the USB3/SATA 6Gb/s, so if thats not a deal breaker it saves you a bit, that and the Sapphire bring you in on budget
