Upgrading

[Mike1]

Hi,

Is there anything wrong with buying a pack such as this which has been overclocked because I have no idea how to set about overclocking;-

I would have the 8Gb rather than the 4GB memory.
I am just looking to improve my dated computers performance.
I have a Corsair 620W psu.
I am aware that I may have to budget £600 to include a new graphics card at a later date which one to choose I am not sure.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply hope the following answers the questions;-

all looks fine but the comment on the new graphics card, the new 7xxx series amd/ati cards coming out will be around the £400 mark, the cheaper ones wouldn't be out till feb/march, so depending on what the op already has will determine if they can wait.
I have a GTS250 GeForce card at the moment 1GB memory

mike1 are the hard disk/s and optical drive you currently have sata? new board don't have ide connectors. also whats the current case?
The case is a "iCute" its about 4 year old will I need a new case to take a graphics card.

I have a Sata HHD and the optical is ide I suppose I will have to but a new optical drive and cable?
for overclocking once you're all setup have a look in the overclocking section of the forums for help, incase you don't understand the terms pohly just used

oh and to add to the 5% code thing, its only valid till 11.59pm tomorrow http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18355464

Any help given is appreciated to get me up and runnning.
