Any particular reason why you've picked what seems like an arbitrary number for the budget and said the system must beat your old system?

Anyway if you change down to the E2180 or E2200 you should be able to get 3ghz+ from the system given the components you have selected there. Maybe change the motherboard to the Gigabyte P31 based one though.
 
i cant live without my computer, i'm not thinking straight.

With the changes suggested it comes in a few quid under the £400. You could perhaps spend £5 over the budget and get yourself some Geil PC6400 so if your existing Ram still works then just add that for 4gb matching Ram.

bfg sent me a new card, but it makes a clicking noise. anyway i got a bios screen which is more than before.

there wa a message saying cmos check sum error. is that because the battery was out for so long?
 
If the CMOS battery was out for a time (I'm assuming here a month or so max) then it shouldn't have gone down too much, it isn't as if there was anything to create a drain on it. Have you gone into the bios and resaved your settings? Can you not simply ignore the CMOS check sum error and press a key to boot into Windows?
