Im looking to upgrade my computer a bit for something with a bit more power. I need a processor, motherboard and graphics card, some memory i already have 1gb (but this is on a motherboard for an athlon 3000+ processor, so i dont know if this is compatible with a new one?) Ideally i would be looking for something under the £250 mark as i havent much money to spend on this. Im mainly a programmer but do a wee bit of video editing and 3d work but not much. Oh and the components would probably have to come from dabs.com or misco or a similar uk supplier. Any suggestions as to what i could get?

what are you going to be using your comp
As above
I think you need new CPU + Mobo + RAM + GPU...
E7200
MSI P43 NEO-F
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2x1GB
Sapphire HD4670 512MB
I don't know if it is powerful enough, buy I think this is the best combination under your budget.
Also, I think you can get a aftermarket CPU cooler for Ocing...
