Looking for some help and advice so hopefully some of you can lend some help.

My dads wants to upgrade his PC, he wants a new motherboard, graphics card, processor and RAM.

Just looking for suggestions as what might be best to buy and where to get it from.
Not looking for the best you can buy but fairly decent, graphics card would need to allow him to play some decent games (Like doom3 etc)

Cheers :0)

The standard Nvidia 6800 is considerably better, for around £50 more. Although if money isn't much of an issue a 6800 GT or X800 Pro would be better etc, but it all boils down to money.

You’re such an idiot smiley. 1st of all they dont exsist I have never heard of the chipset manufactor redeon (i think you mean a radeon 9800xt) which is not worth the money when you pick up a 9800pro for alot less and the difference is minimul.

One of my dads mates own a little PC repair shop and he has said he could get us and ASUS mother board with a 3 GHz P4 and a Radeon 9600 Pro graphics card.
Think the motherboard is this one or similar -[URL] http://uk.asus.com/products/mb/socket775/p5p800/overview.htm [/URL]

Anyone know how good they are or reccomend something of similar ability that they would recommend?

Graphics card was about £120 or so i think, could I get a better one online for a similar price?

Cheers

To give you an idea, online a 256 meg 9600 Pro will cost you around 70-80 pound. A 9600 XT will cost you about 90-100. And you could get a 9800 Pro for around 120-140.

Wait for the X700 series - supposed to be damn good value for money.
