OK have 2 options, after responses on another post and seraching the forums:
Either upgrade current GFX to X1950 AGP approx. 100 and I know it's basically dead money, but my PC does everything I want to currently.
Would current 6800GT hold back any performance increase. I play online games mostly so tend to use 1024x768 res only to keep the speed up - not bother about playing at silly res.
Or budget C2D build PCIE, so I can upgrade CPU in future when funds allow:
Mobo - seems P35 chipset gets good votes here - any of these recommended over the others ?? all similar price (60-65) - all from SCAN to save postage
