    Good suggestion Yosh, grab yourself 2GB of RAM and a 2.33Ghz E6550 from me and a cheap mobo from scan for £100

    It's 4.98*

    PCI-E presumably?

    As I said I've got a cpu and some ram you can have cheap, £80 for the CPU and RAM sound good, presuming you want to?

    I dont think you can go far wrong with the processor / mobo combo you have picked out. Throw in 2gb of ram and your at the £100 mark. Stay away from AOC
