I'm after a new cpu and graphics card and have about £140 to spend on them both.

What's the best combination of these 2 components I could get for the price?

I was looking at an Intel Core 2 Duo cpu and a PCI-E Nvidia graphics card but am open to any suggestions. I could get a different motherboard to take an AMD processor if they're any better, but the budget remains the same for the cpu/gfx card.


thanks
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep a look out in the MM as well.

How much better would the following processor be over the E4300?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

I realise it's £33 ish more new, but the FSB is faster and has 4mb cache and if I could find one in the MM for a reasonable price it may be worth it.

Or if I couldn't find one in the MM would I benefit by getting that processor and say a GeForce 7300 gfx card?

Also I'm assuming the retail packs come with a HS/fan?


thanks again
