    Budget solution:

    Total build cost: €175.35 + €30 shipping
    ASRock 760GM-GS3, Sockel AM3, mATX €39.75
    Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 450W €41.31
    Sapphire HD6770 1G GDDR5 PCI-E HDMI / DVI-I / DP €94.29

    Though spending a bit more to get a nice case as well mightn't be a bad idea:

    How much RAM does that computer have?

    Haha, I think this is turning into a second computer.

    Although I'd normally say to spend a bit on the motherboard to get the good features and future compatibility, that's probably a good choice of motherboard. Along with the price, you are more likely not to have to install windows again as both are 760G boards and windows 7 is pretty adaptable.
    One other board to take a look at would be the Asus M5A78L-M LX. It's pretty much the same thing but the extra €5 allows you to use the new AMD processors for upgrades down the road.

    i think thats best root. that pc is very bottlenecked, so scavanging it for parts and biulding cheapish gaming pc is best root.

    I'll more than likely go with that suggestion deconduo with Monotypes mobo but it'll have to wait till after the Galway races, I'll need ever spare penny for that week.

    Thanks again peoples
