What RAM does he have? It might be worth getting more too? 4GB can be had for £30 now
Maybe just get a Q9550 or something if his motherboard is a P35?
Running 4gb of OCZ reaper, clocked at stock speed (800mhz).
Not much point upgrading mobo with that budget TBH. CPU RAM upgrade would be best IMO.
I'd just go for a Quad core and maybe a new GPU?
Yeah - what's his current GPU? It might be worth just upgrading that if the computer is used pretty much purely for gaming.Originally Posted by PeterStoba

Go for a cheaper 770 chipset based motherboard if Crossfire is not required:
