My current PC is a few years old now. For most stuff it's fine and relatively speedy, but when either doing lots of things at once (so if processing RAW photos and using spotify then web browsing slows down) or playing more modern games (mostly strategy, especially Total War series, FPS is only really played on XBox360) the PC just doesn't quite seem quick enough.
Currently it has a Core2Duo e8400 (3GHz), 2GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 9500GT graphics and a Samsung Spinpoint 1TB SATA HDD.
My current thoughts were leave the processor and motherboard, take it up to 4GB (8GB?) of RAM, new graphics card around £60 (suggestions on which? what about this one from Scan which is currently £52), and consider adding an SSD drive to improve boot times as well as performance. I'm not looking to overclock mainly as I'm after my PC to remain relatively silent, which it currently is. For the same reason I'd like a new GFx to be passively cooled if possible.
I have a budget of around £100-£150 to improve things - do you think I am thinking along the right lines?
