Hi there 
Looking to upgrade my system some. Havern't upgraded it for a year and so many months so about time to catch up.
Looking towards a move from Intel to AMD 64bit, so I cooked up this upgrade:
CP-119-AM - AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA3500BPBOX) (CP-119-AM)
£123.95 £123.95
MB-087-AS - Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-087-AS)
£91.95 £91.95
GX-101-SP - Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 GTO² 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-101-SP)
£109.95 £109.95
CA-005-UX - Ultra X-Connect 500W ATX2.0 Cable Detachable PSU - Titanium with UV Blue (CA-005-UX)
£54.95 £54.95
Subtotal: £380.80
Shipping: £8.95
VAT: £68.21
Total: £457.96
Current system is as follows:
Intel P4 3.0Ghz Prescott
1GB (512x2) Ram (Corsair Value stuff)
400GB (200GBx2)
ATI 9800SE AIW
350w PSU
Logitech G7 Mouse
MS Wireless Keyboard
17" LG TFT
DVD-RW // CD-RW
..and the other general stuff I've missed off.
Just wondering if what I've picked is a god choice? £450 would be the limit, obviously I've stretched a little which isn't a massive deal. Everything compatible, etc?
As a side question, I'm thinking on getting another 1GB ram (to make a total of 2GB), would a new 512x2 need to be identical to the current 512x2?
Cheers,
Matt
