Hi all,

I currently have a Pentium III 750, 384mg SDRAM, & Intel BX Motherboard

I play games so it's getting left behind in the tech race.

I need to upgrade these componants and also get a new Hard Disk

What is the best combination of Motherboard, CPU, HD & Ram that I should
purchase - I don't want expensive cutting edge, just best 'bang for your
buck'

I'll have to keep hold of my GeForce 2 mx 64mg for now - I know this will
bottlekneck the machine when I upgrade.

I'd really appreciate any advice - oh - & I don't want a super noisy PC so
nothing that requires masses of fans.

Thanks guys & girls

Sam Kelly
