The money would have been better spent on a better graphics card
(Radeon 9800 Pro or preferably Geforce 6600GT) if playing current
games is a requirement.


How can you say that without knowing what processor is in there at the mo?

Eh? There isn't a processor in there at the moment, he was going to spend £200 on a cpu/motherboard to go with the 9600 Pro, and I think he'd have been better off buying a better graphics card and lessening the cpu/motherboard budget.
