With the help of Jamie this is my spec for an upgrade long over due.
Antec Sonata III Case with 500Watt PSU - £62.00
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2 x 2.66Ghz 4Mb Cache 1333 FSB Dual Core Processor - £99.95
Asus P5KC, iP35, S 775, PCI-E x16, DDR2/DDR3 1066/1333/667/800, SATA II, ATX - £72.00
Geil Black Dragon PC2-6400 800Mhz 2GB Kit (2x1GB) - £36.50
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA II 7200rpm 16Mb Cache 11ms 300Mb/s - £44.12
EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT KO 512MB PCI Express Graphics Card - Retail (675MHz Core Clock) (1950MHz Memory Clock) (1500MHz Shader Clock) - £159.00
Plus the dreaded VAT of £84 :mad:
So cost is £556.
I already have a nice flat panel monitor (Philips 190X6) plus cordless mouse and keyboard by logitech.
My Plextor PX 708A has served me well for 4 years so why change it.
All I have to do now is build it lol.
Thanks again Jamie for your help.
May I also say that I have always bought AMD and this is my first foray with Intel. Lets hope its a good one !
