Hey guys, Im running an E6850 still with a GTX275

Im looking to upgrade the mobo, cpu, ram and gfx so basically the guts of my pc. Not sure of a budget really, but lets say, what can I get for between 300-500 ?

I mostly play wow which is fine on my pc atm, but SWTOR beta stress test has made me think an upgrade would be nice and I might wanna play some BF3

Cheers
 
A few questions,

1) What PSU do you have?
2) What case do you have?
3) Are your HDD/DVD drives SATA or IDE interface?
 
Ive got a seasonic 750W or 800W PSU I think it is
An old chieftec dragon case, its heavy but reliable
And all my drives are SATA, I bought a 90GB SSD off the Members Market a few weeks back and it zips along nicely, and I use a 1.5TB WD for storage

That aftermarket cooler isnt that tall, so getting the side panel back on wont be an issue.

The motherboard does SLI/crossfire at 8X/8X and with a ivybridge CPU it will be PCI-E3.0 for both slots.
