Tbh, a tad more memory and a gfxcard with some balls, and the rig will play 99% of stuff without issue.

thanks for the feedback dudes! yea i plan to get another gig of ballistix in there and a GFX card in time
must be honest apart from encoding DVD's etc iv not noticed much of a performance increase over my old P4
passmark score for it is 498 which aint bad i think for a budget pc
my P4 was 198 haha
iv seen 8800 GT's on ebay for about 100 quid are these the budget 8800's or are they ok?

Don`t know that u necessarily need to ebay a great 8800 card, but certainly a cheap 8800 card would top the system off nicely. And what`s more, if u did ever decide to upgrade mobe/cpu, the gfx card isn`t exactly a slouch.
There`s little point in getting the fastest 8800 perhaps, but the chepest 8800 u can find will be good enough.
The Foxconn mobo is a pcie supporting board aint it ?

you can either get that 8800, or you could get an 8600 or 9600 which are the value versions, or alternatively you could get somthing like an ATi 3650 or 3450
or other such card from ATi

the 9600 is the cheaper version of the 9800
like the 8600 is the cheaper version of the 8800
the 8800GT would kick the 9600's ass lol
