hi guys my old q6600 rig is getting a bit dated and need some advise/ tips on a new build

my budget is £500 (might be able to stretch to around £550) i will be building it some time next month (when i get paid)

the system will mostly be for gaming(on a 24" 1920*1080 monitor) and some light rendering.

i dont need a case or psu. as i already have a coolermaster 690 II (case) and a 750w OCZ (psu) im not to sure wheather to upgrade my gpus i currentally have 2 xfx 4850's in cf.

i have been looking into the new i5 2500k and the amd 1090t. not to sure which one to get as i am kinda new to building.

so yeah the new build would involve cpu, mobo (with crossfire support), ram (>4gb) possibly a gpu or two;) and hard drives (is it worth getting an ssd or are they abit out of might budget).

thanks for the help :D

** im from the UK just letting u know :p
 
This is 550 quid *with* case and PSU so definitely doable hehe
