is this a good upgrade kit?

Would it cost much more to get better ram and mobo?

Not planning to o/c immediately but will want to o/c the hardware at some point.

Save your cash mate, bog standard bits with no room for even modest overclocking, which is a shame because that chip should give you 3ghz easy with the right board.

[starbuck]

which is the best board for that processor(e4300)?

[Clunk]

Do you want to overclock? and how much have you got to spend?

[starbuck]

Yes, I do want to overclock. Budget will prob be about £500but if mobo is pcie then I will need to include a new graphics card in that as well.

[Clunk]

P5B deluxe (120 ish)
E4300 (110 ish)
geil/ocz 6400 ram (120-130 ish, see bargain forum)

leaves about 150-160 for a graphics card, should be able to get something decent for that

[CrazyMonkey]

for 150-160 you can pick up an X1950XT or go cheaper and get a X1950pro, both are great cards.

or...take your 6800 out of your current PC, and save up for DX10?

Im guessing its agp.

[Nick Smith]

didnt think of that

[starbuck]

it is agp, which is what I'm a bit gutted about as it's a great card.

[starbuck]

which is better for overclocking, e4300 or 6300?

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

With slower memory the E4300 is a better bet. There is a 320mb 8800GTS being released soon and it costs around 200 quid and is a DX10 card. It is also a very fast DX9 card too!
