Please start a new thread in the appropriate Forum if you wish for upgrade advice!

Post a new thread in the New Build/Upgrade section of the forums for that,
here are some good UK sites though
www.overclockers.co.uk
www.eclipsecomputers.com
www.savastore.com
www.rlsupplies.co.uk (good for blank media, they have quite a lot at cheap prices)
