Appreciate the Inclusion Shamar Holtz, But Sandstorm 3000 and Eximo's build is the one I'm going for. Thanks everyone for your help, and avoiding a catastrophe with the RAM :P

Thanks for the build Eximo, Would my PSU be supported with this small case?

Ah yes I just realised my mistake, lots of mixing about! The Intel mobo I looked at was; ASUS H97I-PLUS LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard (£66) Thanks for the advice on the graphics card/ processor, haha yea its more of a new build than a upgrade I suppose...

Hi guys, I've finally got a decent idea on the upgrade on my existing system that initially consisted of; - P5Q Pro motherboard - ATI HD 4850 1GB - Q8200 4GB of RAM, broken Antec 900 case and a decent new 600W ModXstream-Pr0 PSU (that doesn't need to be upgraded) I also have a 1.5TB of...

I think i will look for a cheap 4850 , does it also have to be the exact same RAM and make etc , so for example can I have one from XFX and another one from Sapphire ? Also my PSU is 750W. Ahhhh be damned about having to get a new mobo , I think the cpu upgrade will have to wait , is it worth...

Cool thanks for the reply jms , so you reckon graphics card good , but CPU maybe not so good eh. so this one ? http://www.ebuyer.com/251596-intel-core-i5-2500k-3-3ghz-socket-1155-6mb-cache-retail-boxed-processor-bx80623i52500k
