Hi all

Wondering whats the best "bang for my buck" stuff to get hold of, not insterested in oc'ing it just want good performance at stock.

Currently running

Mobo - ASUS A8N-SLI
CPU - AMD 3800X2
GFX - 7800GT
RAM - 2gb Corsair DDR400

Any help would be appreciated.

Currently no budget assigned really, talking maybe £500ish

as for psu its currently a Hiper Type - R 540 fella, so I think that will do the trick.

Was thinking of going from a 3800 to a 4400 or a 4200 and maybe an ati x1900 price dependant of course.

mmmh not really into that, less ram
, better gfx indeed, not sure how does a core duo perform to a 3800x2

not looking to OC but the intel argument has me interested.

tho that 1900xt for that price is indeed a bargain.
