Upgrading

[StonedPenguin]

Hi all

I have a budget of £500 (or there abouts) I've been putting a basket together and this is what ive came up with..

I already have a Corsair tx750, HD4890 & a couple of sata hdd's + case. Upgrading from c2d @ 3ghz, Is this a significant upgrade do you think?

I will upgrade video card in summer sometime when funds permit.
Should I look at a Z68 board or is a P67 more than capable? Is that a good choice of SSD?

I doubt I will ever sli or crossfire.. I use machine for gaming at 1920x1200.

Thanks

Thanks. I'll get the Retail version then for the sake of £2.

Is thier a big improvement using a Z68 board over a P67 for gaming do you know?

Cheers

I probably wont use the extra features so might stick to a P67 board..

Is it not worth getting the Corsair A50? Should I save a bit more and get a A70 or something? I'll probably only overclock to ~4ghz.

Is the SSD a good choice? I was looking at the OCZ Vertex Series 120GB but the 2E has faster speeds.. Is this noticable?
