Have had the following for a few years now, so looking at an upgrade but not really sure what route to go. Will be used for playing games like football manager and COD.
Dont need a graphics card as i have already upgraded that.
Have a spare £200 to spend.

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) -
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Gigabyte GA_945PL_S3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Cheers

Id go for 4gb of ram and overclock your cpu if you haven't already, and get a good cpu cooler for doing that

I'd save up a bit more.

If you get a motherboard you'd need a new cpu such and such
