Time for a new setup!

[Drofder2004]

Well, my Graphics card has just decided to arrange its own funeral, so its time for a new setup (or upgraded)

Currently:
- Asus P5KC Intel P35 DDR2/DDR3 Socket 775 Motherboard
- Core2Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz
- 4Gb Ram (Cannot remember exact)
- Geforce 9800GT
- Antec 900 Case

I have no need to upgrade any drives or the case.
Ideas people?!

My idea:
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Triple Channel

Budget is variable, but £500 area is tops (CPU / GPU / Memory / Motherboard)
I want to achieve a good working/gaming computer?

Updating original post with a list of items, I cobbled together using some very little research (Tom's Hardware )

[Drofder2004]

Any suggestions or changes, otherwise this will be ordered tomorrow morning (at work >.>)

I don't see much of a difference between the i7 860 that you posted and the i5 760 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product) and it's about £87.5 cheaper.

The mobo could be a little bit cheaper if you want to save some money. I recently got something similar to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product and it worked great.

I don't see too much of a need for 6gb of ram, and I believe it's better to have exponential increments of 2 (1 gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb, etc), but I don't really know too much about that :S. I would go for something such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product and it's cheaper as well.

the video card is good.

I hope this helps .

I believe the cooling I use is: http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6603
Would have to check exact model, but that certainly looks like it.

[Drofder2004]

£6 for a minor upgrade, updated basket already.
Just need to pop to the bank as early as I can and order it.

That video was both pointless and annoying.

Don't hate, appreciate (their gayness).

And done, and suprisingly not a single hurdle was toppled

I felt like killing myself by the time some guy started singing
