Upgrade advice

[Ryan0r]

Hello all. Yet another advice thread!

Current PC:
Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz @ 4.2GHz
Asus P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard
AMD 7850 1GB
4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 RAM
Samsung SSD, 3x mechanical drives, 1x optical drive.

This has served me well, but it's time I should be looking at upgrading for some new games. A motherboard-CPU-RAM bundle will do me just fine on my limited budget, and I think a quad core i5 is the way to go.

Budget is £250 or under. I suspect the Members' Market would be perfect for sourcing something second hand, but I can't access this due to having nowhere near 1000 posts...

Let me know if you need anything further.
Thanks!

Thanks buddy. Yeah I think the bundle should do the job; I'll consolidate data into fewer hard drives solving the SATA ports issue
