Spec me a shuttle…….to run vista

I currently have a sn41g2 system that is knocking on 4 years old, and I feel it’s time for a change, I’m still using an amd 2500, I’m a little out of touch when it comes to graphics cards, duel core or core duo…. Or whatever is the latest!
If you had £500 what you go for (monitor/mouse/keybourd not needed) i do like the shuttles and would like to stay with them, but don't really have a clue to which one to get and what spec

samsung sata i'd go for

ditch that gfx card (and cpu) if you just want a learning box, use an e2140 cpu and a cheap low end fanless gfx card

i was thinking can i bring the price down by going AMD? i would quite like a good gcard.

maybe some think like this?

you could drop the price down by getting a lower end gfx card
and changing the hard driver for some think smaller. but stay with
WD or Samsung hard drives.

also remember to check if any gfx card you choice fits as there ain't much space
for some of the passive coolers.

also the psu might limit you to what gfx you can use as well.

so how much diff is there between the AMD and the intel performace wise.... sorry to ask these qestions... i'm so out of touch!
