Spec me an upgrade for £500ish

Guys, thanks so much for this help and discussion. Its really helping me no end since been out of the loop with PC hardware for a year or two. Maybe the i7 is the one to go for.... I may be able to free up another couple of hundred since the repairs to my wife's car were less than I though they would be... :)

So I will check out that i7 spec. Would 8 Gig of memory be valid combination or would I need to go to 12 Gig?

you would need to go 6gb or 12gb with the triple channel memory of the i7....
6gb corsair is more than enough kirkster :D and if you find its not you can put more in later....
 
Brilliant. :cool:

Thanks I will investigate those components further. Not sure if that MOBO is a good choice for RAID 5 though....?:confused: Some internet posts suggest the ASUS is the one to go for if you want to do raid 5. As I say, will investigate - wanted some ideas to get me up and running.

Cheers, Steve
