Hi, my budget is £200, or if I need to I can go up to £350ish when it is Christmas.
I'm looking to play BF3 on medium settings at 1680 x 1050. I was thinking of upgrading to a 1155 slot.
My specs-
Mobo - Dell oyf432
CPU - Intel Core 2 duo e6700
RAM - DDR2 4gb
GPU - Nvidia Gforce gtx 280.
Also I live in the UK, and amazon would be awesome! Thanks!
I need to upgrade my PSU as well.

judging by that you don't need a monitor or peripherals here is the list

It will cost you about $477 which is a sub 350 pounds

CPU- AMD FX 4130 Black Edition 3.8GHz Quad-Core Socket AM3+ Boxed Processor
Motherboard- Asrock 970 Extreme3 Socket AM3+ 970 ATX AMD Motherboard
Ram-Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit
Power Supply- Corsair CX-500 Power Supply
Storage- Seagate Barracuda 500GB at 7,200rpm
Case- You have it already
Video Card- MSI GTX 650 OCed to 1075MHZ

Hope it helps

If you are trying to save money give me more information, what exact model number of your Dell, so far I came up with 2 models XPS 700 and XPS 710, it is very important for components!

It's custom built, I think it was from one of the dell models but different parts added.
And yes, I'm trying to upgrade it to play BF3 at medium settings while trying to save money :p
Thanks!

As long as you are using Dell motherboard it it still Dell, and as I asked, I need model. Are you still using original Dell case, if yes look for the black sticker, not bluish one with windows serial, if you provide service tag number that will be great.

As long as you have Dell motherboard, you play by Dell rules.

Consider the possibility of using eBay to save money.
