    Looking to replace my current Desktop machine which was built in Mid 2007 and has not let me down once. Current specs are:

    Core 2 Duo E6550 CPU
    4GB DDR2 RAM
    2x320GB Samsung Spinpoint SATA Drives*
    LG SATA DVD Rewriter*
    Onboard network, sound
    Radeon X1550 graphics
    HP 22" VGA Monitor (Widescreen)*
    Wireless Keyboard and Mouse*

    Looking to take the parts with a star forward to new machine and will upgrade them later, so please guys focus on the core build ignoring these parts.

    So basically what I'm looking for.
    New Case
    New Motherboard
    Mid range core i5 or above
    8GB RAM (able to expand to at least 16GB)
    Mid-range dedicated graphics card.
    On-board sound
    On board wireless or wireless card

    Budget will be around 500 euro. I very rarely game and the games I do use are like Football Manager so graphics does not have to be the main point.
