YAY finally got given permission to post 
anyway i have a AMD athlon 2500XP+ and 9600XT with 1gig ram and its time to upgrade.
I love my computer to bits and it was the first one i built and i had no probs with it
Anyway so i need something with abit more beef to play world of warcraft as sometimes my computer cant handle it in high fps areas, and i would like to stick with AMD, BUT if someone can convince me to stay i will, my budget is strictly £550 inc del
So this was my original spec, also include a case with 520V PSU which is priced at £50 but didnt link it
I dont need cd/dvd drive as ill swap it from mine etc, so just include cpu, ram, gfx card, hard drive, ram and anything else necessary
LN14251
AMD AM2 Athlon 64 4600+ Windsor Core, Dual Core 2.4GHz, 2x 512KB Cache, Retail £118.99 £139.81
LN16080
256MB Gainward 7900GS Bliss Golden Sample, PCI-E, Mem 1400MHz+, GPU 500MHz+, 20 Pipes, 2xDVI/HDTV £89.79 £105.50
LN14711
ASUS M2V, VIA K8T890, S AM2, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 533/667/800, SATA I, SATA RAID, ATX £37.65 £44.24
LN11545
120 Gb Western Digital WD1200JS Caviar SE, SATA300, 7200 rpm, 8MB Cache, 8.9 ms £30.85 £36.25
LN12201
2Gb (2X1Gb) Corsair Value Select, DDR2 PC5300 (667), 240 Pin, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 5-5-5-15 £116.53 £136.92
Net Total £393.81
Carriage £5.98
V.A.T. £69.96
TOTAL £469.75
then i came up with this spec but i hear that many games to handle dual core so it would be cheaper and more efficient to go single core:
basically the same spec but single core instead of the x2
LN14246
AMD AM2 Athlon 64 3800 Orleans Core, 2.4GHz, 512KB Cache, Retail £56.99 £66.96
i would appreciate if you guys can sort something out for me asap as i need to order parts today so i can get it for xmas
