This runs what games(BF2,Grid,rFactor,tmuf) i chuck at it on 1440x900 in a fashion.

So the times come for an upgrade, Im after a mobo, cpu(intel quad core), memory and gfx.
I have around the £500 mark for the above.

So can you guys & gals spec me up please.

Just over the £500 marker with free delivery

Well i went up stoke and brought the above items(except i got the P5Q Pro mobo) plus a new sata hdd to the grand total of £581.56 and boy was it worth it.
This new rig seems that fast its unbelievable compared to my old rig.
Has anyone on here got any advice on bios settings for the P5Q Pro as at the moment the bios is all on default settings, i dont want to be oc'in just yet, i just want rock solid performance.

Thanks
