Fresh builds for games i would min go triple core i.e AthlonII X3 but for 500 quid

493 quid off Ebuyer UK

Ok thanks for the info, iv been told that for gaming x4 CPU is not really needed and that if I did want it I can switch my x2 to a x4 with the asus v Evo mobo and also get 1333 ddr3 instead of the 1600ddr3 and overclock it to 2000ddr3 and save another £20

Well majority of games still dun leverage past >2 cores correct but in case they do at least a X3 + OC would give ya a better playable experience ^^ I would look to hit a HD 6850 for a 500 quid gamer before anything else tbh

Ok then 6850 seems like a better option as it's around £40 more than the 6770 and I don't want to go over budget would I be better to get the 6850 and only 4GB of ram?

For gaming most definitely - some peeps game on 2GB still but a better GPU would be the best move for a gamer hehe

Ok sweet thanks, 6850 and 4GB of ram it is
