    Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade my somewhat out-dated rig. My current specs are:

    Asus P5B
    Intel Pentium D 3.2Ghz
    1GB Value DDR2 RAM
    Nvidia 7900GTX

    Keeping my motherboard I think I'm gonna upgrade to this:

    OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) 800MHz/PC2-6400
    Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz) 1333FSB 6MB L2
    CoolerMaster Hyper TX 2 Processor cooler
    Arctic Power 700W PSU

    TOTAL - £229

    Just a questions:

    Whats the best graphic solution, based on the upgrade, for under £100?
    Does my board support Core 2 Duo?

    Would appreciate the help, thanks.

    personally, i'm not happy to recommend a gfx solution cos i'm out of touch with the gfx market
    yes, but to make a recommendation i'd prefer to know which P5B you have

    Edit: there are 11 P5B's
