    Hi Guys,

    Here's my current spec of a machine, the issues I have I do a lot of web design work, no real gaming so do not recommend me a 150 euro video card but onboard is not acceptable. The current system that I've had for two years now is starting to get past it's best and I need it replacing.

    At the moment I have a budget of around 500 Euro to replace things, but could increase to 700 in a couple of weeks. I only have a Maestro and Laser card so everything is going to have to be retail, or Elara to make it more difficult!

    Current build and what I plan to keep and replace is:
    - Celeron D341 2.93Ghz (Replace)
    - 768MB DDR PC3200 RAM (Replace)
    - 1X 250GB IDE HD + 1X160GB IDE HD (Keep if possible)
    - ATI Radeon 9650 AGP (Replace for PCI Express)
    - PCI Wireless Card (Keep unless motherboard has it built in)
    - 1X LG DVDRW Drive (Keep)
    - 1X LG DVD Drive (Keep)
    - 1X Floppy Drive (Keep)
    - 1X MS Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (Keep)
    - 1X Creative Speakers (Keep)
    - 1X LG 19" Monitor

    So basically what I need, is New Ram, a new motherboard, new CPU (Core 2 Duo E4400 is fine) fans, CPU cooling and case.

    Shouldn't be too hard, recommend away!
