Upgrade help

[jamesuk85]

Hey all. i think i've finally gotta admit defeat in getting a bank loan for a new system

Could you guys gimmie some advice on what to upgrade. I'd like to be able to play the top end games on med-high settings if i could. heres my current system, im guessing a budget of £500-£800

Antec Nine Hundred - Advanced Gaming Case
Corsair 1000W Power Supply Unit
ASUS P5N-D
Intel® Core™2 Quad Q9550 Quad Core
2 x NVidia GeForce GTX 280 1GB

Im guessing the PSU will be fine to keep. My gfx cards do need to go as they have finally died on me...if only they could run at 115c stable Not too fussed about SLI anymore either.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, would i really need a new mobo?:/

I did have a friend round who tryed to overclock the cpu but couldnt, he told me it was "locked"

I do have a after market cooler on it also.

Im guessing if i could, just replace the cpu (if needed)
the gfx cards have to go, im hoping its them that are broke and not something else ;/
Probably need some better ram.

I probably will need a new mobo as i doubt this old one could handle the new hardware now?

thanks again
