Hi folks , just wondering what people would recommend for a system upgrade, budget about £400 , used for surfing, distributed computing , mainly play RTS / RPG / Footy Manager type games
Got the CPU/Mboard & the 1 GIG memory as a bundle back in Feb 2007 from OCUK
> Mainboard : Gigabyte 965P-DS3
> Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1866 MHz but o/clocked @ 2310 MHZ
> Physical Memory : 3072 MB
1GB GeIL PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Kit
2GB GeIL PC2-6400C4 Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
> Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256 MB
> Operating System : Windows XP Home Edition SP2
> PSU is a Tagan TG530-U22 530W (but nearly 3 yrs old)
Would the following be much improvement?
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
(146.86)
Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (£99.86)

Corsair VX 450W ATX PSU (CMPSU-450VXUK) (£49.34)
Total price £371.24 inc vat+shipping from OCUK
