upgrading pc

[Phil2112]

I’m toying with the idea of upgrading my 4 year old pc,,which was built by Overclockers. My current pc spec is as follows;
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
- Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
- HIS ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express
- Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX
- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache
- LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive
- OCZ StealthXStream 500w Silent ATX2 Power Supply
Antec 900 case
To save money was thinking of keeping the Antec 900 case, the HD 4850 ( I have been given a 4870 so could use that instead) and also the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II but using this to keep my games/music on and buying a small ssd for windows.
So I need the following, a i3 (will change that to a i5 later next year), psu,motherboard,ram,ssd,dvd/cd reader/writer and cooler. Dont really want to go over £300. No operating system needed. Thanks for any advice

Bit over, but much better PSU. You can keep the stock cooler until you upgrade

I would post in customer services about that Motherboard. It has quite a hefty discount which could suggest that it may be missing a few bits.

** Boards boxed, missing some accs **

Well Worth posting in CS section. Though it could just be CD and instruction manual.

Z68 boards are a tad out of date anyway, with Z77 being the top spec board of choice, in this instance, the Z68 board would be perfect.
