Why don't you keep your Q6600. Find a decent board with overclocking capabilities. Second hand for £30. Get a third party cooler. £20. Overclock it to anything past 3.2Ghz.

Depending on your ram. Get some second hand PC2-6400 stuff for £30 (4GB)

Keep your HDD, if it's sata... it'll be fine.

Then all you need to splash out on is a fancy new GPU. Get the best you can afford. £200 left.... so a 6950 would fit in the budget nicely. That will be a lot better for BF3 than spending £300 on a whole new range of kit.

Upgrade the rest when you can afford it. The GPU will be fine to swap into a new build obviously. Your PSU is obviously fine also.

If your current mobo is upto the job of overclocking... then quids in.

mobo is ok tbh, its an asus thing that allows overclocking, its got o/b hdmi and stuff but i did have it at 3.3 stable for a while

i need to clean it out, as its full of dust, then ill have a go at getting a stable clock and then look for a half decent gpu for £150

thanks
