Hi Guys,

Mate of mine from work has given me his PC to have a look at, i've done a bit of a clean up etc. and he is wondering about an upgrade as his grandson plays City Of Heroes/Villians and keeps getting errors about low memory.

Current Spec is

Athlon Sempron 2600/2800 (cant remember which)
512MB PC3200U Ram (unbranded says D1D400?)
Unbranded FX 5500 256MB GFX Chip
ASUS A7V600-X Mobo

He wants a new hdd, but it looks like it has sata ports which should be ok :) as all 4 IDE used.

He hasnt given a def budget, but he 100% wants more ram + hdd so lets say about £100.

But if he was to streth to maybe £200-250 what would you guys suggest?

Also what kind of ram should i get for him
 
Riiiight at the upper end of his budget, but he could get this and presuming it's an AGP graphics card it'd still work on this motherboard.
