upgrading advice please
current spec =
core 2 due e4300
gigaabyte 965p-s3 rev 3.3
7600gs graphics silent
2 x hitachi 500gb sata
4gb ballistix pc 5300 ddr2 ram (was 2gb but just purchased additional 2gb for win7)
this is my main pc which is mainly set up for web browsing/forums and htpc duties. x264 playback & light gaming.
i'm upgrading from xp to windows 7 and see this as an opportunity to fit a higher spec cpu and would appreciate advice on which cpu to go for
i do not want to overclock as i am after reliability and keeping things cool
