Right, these are my current specs:
Soltek nForce 2 mobo, couldn't precisely tell you which one
AMD XP 2800 2.14 GHz
1 gig generic DDR RAM
Maxtor 250 GB 7200rpm IDE HDD
Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis
Generic PSU
My hobby is video editing, and come September I am going to university to start a 4 year degree in digital visual effects. While I like the odd game, this takes priority. So obviously I'll need LOTS of storage (SATA would be nice for speed), processing power and RAM, and the graphics card takes the back burner (I would use my current Radeon, but after a power surge it's a bit broken and needs replacing)
I'll also need a new PSU as the one I'm currently using is borrowed; said power surge killed my old one.
So, I've got a budget of about £400, I'd really appreciate it if someone who's familiar with current hardware (I'm about 3 years behind in knowledge terms) could have a look for me. Cheers.
