Time to upgrade my PC...

Well, thinking about updating and upgrading my PC.

Currently got the spec which you can see in my sig, its the older chipset (755 i think :S?) and probley a bit sluggish. Its also got DDR1 RAM when DDR2 is now out,

Mainly use it for the general stuff, internet, msn, photoshop, webdesigning and some basic games.

Whats best to upgrade and what should I go for?

Budget of about £200-£300.

Oh, and how much could I get for selling the parts I upgrade?

ful tower for £300, should be day and night compared to your current rig

if you're keeping your current case and HDD you could buy a better mobo/chip instead.

I went on OcUK and selected a build, it was a a lot similar to that. But i'd go with an Antec 300 over that case, it's £20 cheaper, with that extra £20 i'd get a better GPU.

That looks pretty good, would I notice a big difference between that and my current setup?

I'm sure on ebay you could sell the computer for about £50-100
