So I think its time to upgrade my brothers old XPS 630i. The specs currently are:

Memory (RAM): 2813 MB
CPU Info: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
CPU Speed: 2395.9 MHz
Display Adapters: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT x2

Dont really have a budget, lets say around £1000 for the whole lot? Any good guides for overclocking the Q6000?

edit - What are the chances of just selling the 630i? Im tempted just to get a brand new rig.

Awesome cheers mate. How easy is it these days to fit all the parts in? last time I did it was a good 5 years ago.

Also, what are the full systems like for value for money. I was looking at the "Titan Wraith" Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz @ 4.00GHz DDR3 SLI System"

Hmm may just buy it tomorrow...or is there anything I should be waiting a little longer for?

Given my specs in the first post, if I was to buy one of the top of the range GPU's today how much of a boost in games would I get? Will upgrade the rest at a later date.
