    Aah ok - understand.

    as i mentioned, try PCWorld or Maplin.. id say PCWorld would be a good bet, as they normally supply a decent range of HW

    If not, there are places online that you can get it from easily?

    I was in one the other day. it was selling a €286 HD7770 I think it was. :rolleyes:

    try second hand adverts.ie or eBay. for the price of a new one you'll probably be able to buy a decent AMD rig and your ddr3 ram.

    Having a look on adverts there's nothing too amazing, but maybe they'd post them for €50.

    If the OP doesn't want the motherboard and your throwing it out, I kinda feel obligated to offer to take the motherboard off your hands :)
