Motherboard: Gigabyte EP43-DS3LR
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
Memory: DDR2 8192MBytes
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Power: 650watts

Hope this is all the information needed.

Ok I am looking to upgrade almost everything on my pc, I need to upgrade the mobo as I want to use DDR3, so to do that I would need to upgrade my CPU as well, and will need to upgrade my Graphics card.

But I am not sure where to start. The most I want to pay for a CPU is £150, theres no problem getting the DDR3, But I need a graphics card with 2 DVI sockets as have dual monitor setup with 2 Samsung Syncmaster 2232BW monitors. I would like to stay with Intel CPU and NVIDIA Graphics card.

I would like to be able to play newer games at quite high settings, am trying out Battlefield 4 Beta at moment and it just wont play with my specs.

Would love UK links and prices first if possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

You could try using

That will give you a good feel for what you can put together and where to get the parts cheaper. Once you have a starter we can then suggest potential different parts.
