Hi, i recently upgraded my pc but it was done on a real tight budget just to get a working pc going again, prior to that i hadn't upgraded in years. I want to keep it all a bit more up to date this time and so have decided to fork out maybe £100 to £150 (if needed) per month to keep parts pretty sweet.
Now this is pretty much going to be a monthly thread as i ask what shall i upgrade next but this is my current spec...
Crappy Case
Crappy Psu
e4300
Akasa Ak-965 Cpu Cooler
Asus P5NE-sli mobo
250gb sata hdd
120gb sata hdd
Ati Radeon 3850
20inch Monitor native res 1366x768
Crappy keyboard + mouse
Decent 2.1 speakers.
2gb 6400 ddr2 ram
This month i was thinking to spend £150 and getting...
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)
£20.99
(£24.66)
Tuniq Tower 120-LFB CPU Cooler (Socket 478/754/939/940/AM2/LGA775) £24.99
(£29.36)
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK) £59.99
(£70.49)
Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 Black - Retail (BV3-00007) £21.99
(£25.84)
Sub Total : £127.96

Total : £160.87 (inc shipping)
how's that seem to you with regards upgrading most urgent flaws first (excluding kb/mouse but that's not a big purchase).
any other suggestions welcome.
Oh and just to be clear i will be asking this same question again in about a months time with a similar budget.
