Budget PC build

Hi guys,

Basically my computer has fried, so looking to replace a few bits..

I want to try and get a half decent CPU/mobo - then some tide-me-over memory to go with it. Will be replacing GFX and Memory in the new year.

Stuff I have..

PSU - Corsair HX 620W
GFX - XFX 8800GTS 512mb
HDD - Samsung 1TB F3

Been looking at the AMD Athlon II X3 440 and slightly more expensive AMD Phenom II X2 555, but unsure..

Mobo i'd prefer gigabyte/asus and ATX as I have a full size tower.

Budget £150 (for cpu, mobo and memory)

Mainly use the PC for surfing and world of warcraft.

Any suggestions?

I would definitely go for the tri-core as for gaming (I assume) 3 cores is the sweet spot and can possibly be unlocked to a X4.

On the motherboard front, something from the 880/890 range ?

Yeah I do play games, hooked on WoW at the min though :Oops:

Been reading about unlocking the X3, sucess rates seem pretty high aswell! :)
