Hello.

Looking to get a small upgrade for gaming purposes. I only require CPU, Mobo, RAM and a Graphics Card. Not too concerned about future proofing anything, just looking to get the best gaming performance out of this tight budget. I would be willing to stretch a bit more if it meant getting a part that would significantly increase performance. Will be using 1280x768 resolution.

Thank you very much in advance.
 
amd 440x3, cheapest am3 mobo, cheapest ddr3 ram which isn't ocz gold, plus a graphics card which fits the leftover budget (ati is your best bet)
 
The OCZ gold debacle was only Triple Channel sets.

OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low-Voltage Dual Channel (OCZ3G1333LV4GK) £58.74

Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 Golden Sample 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - OEM (Grade A Refurb 3 Months Warranty) £86.94

Intel Pentium Dual-Core G6950 2.80GHz (Socket LGA1156) - Retail £68.14

Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 microATX Motherboard £67.99

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939 / AM2 / AM3 / 775 / 1156 / 1366) £16.99

That comes in at £310 with shipping and is begging to be overclocked. Custom PC got their G6950 to 4.62GHz on air! (Issue 84)
