awsome upgrade, could always put a better CPU in, and then overclock it,

Change the CPU to the E4300 and thats what i'd choose given the budget.

Ideally £250 would get you a better motherboard and a better cooler, the spec above but with an E4300 would total at £192.96 with delivery, and i'd opt for that at a minimum.

should be noticeable, given you've got a single core cpu at the mo, plus if you clock it you will be laughing.
