Upgrade

[Jimbu]

Looking to upgrade my current system looking to get a new:

Motherboard
PSU
CPU
graphics card
memory

Considering the new Conroe at the moment and looking to overclock as much as i can. I wont bother with SLi or crossfire. My budget is £730 and need advice. Mainly for Gaming.

Anyone?

I would go Conroe mate... 6600 is the chip to go with at the moment and the Asus motherboard, BUT I would wait to see if OcUk stock the Intel Bad Axe motherboards first..

Gskill has a good reputation for overclocking... and with a Conroe you cant really go wrong... you might wanna got with a 6400 and spend a little more on a gfx card... give me a min and I will ammend
