I wouldn't buy anything from SR if I were you.

You'd be better off with overclockers.co.uk, dabs.com or simply.co.uk

OI! What have I got to do with this?! ;)

I thought I saw a few people bashing that very card in another thread...

Ok, for graphics card i reckon the Sparkle geforce fx 5200 is your best bet. Its 128mb and also supports direct x 9.

Processor

So there you go, new gfx card and new CPU for less than £150. Although i would suggest buying as fast a processor as you can afford, or we'll be having this conversation again in about 4 months.
