Ok heres the deal, i have £300 saved up and as my games give off the $hitest frame rates, im thinking of upgrading my PC. Im currently running on a P3 450 with 128 Ram and a Rage Fury Maxx 64mb graphics card (rubbish dont be fooled) and i was wondering what £300 could get me in terms of getting upgraded, any ideas? Processor or G-card?

OMFG cant i even say D0d***!

Well the way around that is to just spell it - "dodgy".
The only thing that's banned there is the use of the word "g e y", funnily enough it was deemed as being utterly ghey, so it's censored now.

Regarding your original question:
I'd say go for a new mobo/cpu combo, you should be able to pick up an athlon/duron package for under £300.

I think the GA-6BXC can take a p3 850, with a slot to socket adapter. Otherwise you can get a board and a duron 800 - 850 for that money.
