Ok, so i should have £200 at the end of the month spare so i can upgrade the PC a bit.

Current spec in sig.

Would you get an E4300 and decent mobo ( either a DS3 or P5NE-SLI ) or would you get a 320Mb 8800GTS?
 
I would get the CPU and motherboard. You will need a good cooler though too. I would go for this because by the time you come to upgrading the GPU prices will have dropped - I also think that the 8800 may struggle a little with your current CPU.
 
Already got the cooler - i got a freezer 7 when they were on offer last week :)

Yup im leaning toward the mobo and cpu myself as im sure i can get a little more out of the 7600GT im using now.

After flogging the mobo and cpu i have now i could probably pick up a cheapo X1800XT from the MM to tide me over for a bit :)
 
Yeah definately the best move I think, that 7600 would love the CPU change. You probably know just as well as me that those CPUs overclock really nicely so I would go for the motherboard, CPU.

I'm selling my Powercolor X1950 Pro 512MB by the way if you were interested. It's 2 weeks old, wanted around what I paid for it though.
