Which would you choose?
 
Conroe, why not drop the 7300 and just wait till you get the X1900XT back? and Up the Conroe?

Upto you, but great specs either way, if you're going to overclock it you may want to change the mobo.

If you're going to use the P5VD2-MX you dont need the 7600GS (theres IGP).

However, it doesnt support Conroe and has zero overclocking\tweaking options. It uses an inferior chipset too. Being mATX means it has limited expansion capability also.

Yeah i didnt realise that it had IGP. Is there a better mobo for £100 or less?
