Hello all

I would be grateful if you can spec me a new/upgrade PC.......

I can use the following from my old PC that I can use (I think)

Coolermaster case
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)
Harddrive
DVD Drive/s

I would like to spend around £450-500.

It for general use ie gaming/watching media/surfing net etc preferably Intel Quad processor & min 2gb RAM.

Thanks in advance

chose the guranteed to run at 3GHz cpu as its cheaper than the normal one due to it being on This week only

you still have money to upgrade the ram to 4GB if you want

depending on the type of media you watch and how much gaming you do, an ati card maybe a better option due to its HD decoding abilities but they are not as good as nvidia's 8800 and 9800 series cards for gaming.

if other features are needed on the MB that are not available on the one i picked, tell us so we can pick you a better motherboard to suit your needs.
