Hi,

I would appreciate your thoughts on the following:

This is what I have (below), one day Ill get myself a new rig, but in the mean time Ive 200 quid to spend. Whats my best bet?

Its my gaming rig and I intend to overclock it.

Cpu: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz (Northwood)
Cpu Speed: 3.36GHZ (FSB-240)
fsb:dram 5:4 (ddr 400)
corsair pc3200 1gb (512 dual channel)
Mobo: MSI 875Pneo (MS-6758)
Cooling: Artic freezer 4
GFX: Nvidia 7600GT (agp)
Sound: Sound Blaster Audigy
HD: seagate baracuda (7200RPM)
PSU: Enermax noisetaker 485W

Cheers
 
Just thinking about it and wondering whether it might be worth buying a cheap AMD board and 64 chip with PCI-E and the PCI equivalent 7600GT.
Then a newer mobo would allow faster RAM, for a memery upgrade in the near future.

Rather than adding a faster 478 CPU and 2 gig of pc3200 RAM.

Or as has been suggseted just save the cash and buy a new system in the future, as I can still play quite happily.
