Hi all,

I am looking to buy a new computer for around £1000 but I am curious as to whether it would actually be worth it. I only require a new base unit, as I will be keeping my current monitor etc.

My current system is:

Athlon XP 2400+
Hercules Radeon 9700
512mb Corsair RAM
120gb HDD.
Epox Nforce 2 motherboard with onboard sound.

What could I buy for around £1000 (preferably not too much over) and would the performance gain be significant? I should add that I prefer AMD to Intel and ATI to Nvidia, but I am willing to use any of the companies. The computer would mainly be used for games and watching DVD's, but I do use it for university too
