I need help upgrading my computer

[JackPoole]

I've recently realised my current computer isn't good enough. It's simply too old, so I've decided to upgrade. I want to buy new everything, however, I already have RAM, hard drives and the case. I also have a 2.30GHz AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core processor 4400, I'm not sure whether this is good or not. I'm thinking about getting this motherboard: http://www.ebuyer.com/218935-gigaby...-channel-audio-matx-motherboard-ga-880gm-ud2h

Video Card: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/3320/2...GB-PCI-Express-2-1-Graphics-Card/Product.html

But I'm not sure what else I'll need. I'm also on a bit of a budget so please keep that in mind

What are you going to be using this computer for?

Are you going to be using it for gaming or just doing day-to-day stuff with it?

for any gaming, id upgrade the processor to at least a phenom processor (4 core).

the motherboard is good for upgrading eventually.

the graphics card is a low series, that being 5. you could look for a low 6xxx series radeon, that's if your planning on gaming.

Well, I can vouch that the motherboard is a good one, because I bought that one recently. Although, I wonder if there are better choices for you since this particular board has integrated video, which you don't need since you're getting a video card... Then again, the one I'm thinking of is more money.
