I need an upgrade. Badly.

I will have to keep my shitty 6800LE for now... Yes yes, I know it doesn't even exist anymore.

I was looking for bundles... I came across this one - Good bundle?

Is that any good? Or should I hand pick shit? I think that is the furthest I can go budget-wise right now.

Now, for a new hard drive. This doesn't count in my budget...yet.
What HD should I go for? I want a good one, but not pricey and I want something 300GB big or larger.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Zimmer

That bundle looks fine. And as for HD, any SATA-II 16mb cache 7200rpm should be fine.

Crap. Just realised I can't buy it.

I have an AGP graphics card...

This fails.

Buy it then have a cheap replacement. I just saw the other day a 7900GTX for sale for less than 100 pounds...

Why?

And, as I said Cyborg. The Spanish police took all the rest of my money. THAT is my budget. I cannot afford a graphics card as well.

Hard drive is my personal brand bias ... I'm not using any real logic .. i guess it is better than a maxtor!

That CPU + Mobo + RAM combo is pretty good. The Hard Drive's alright too.

If you have an AGP graphics card, save up and get a 320MB GTS. If not that, even a 7900 or 7800. What's your current graphics card?

I shall make this quite clear again.
I am not going to buy a new graphics card. That would put the cost to £300...no chance.

I either get a new CPU, mobo and RAM or I get rien.

Get the bundle now, then save and buy a new card.

Great idea!
So I get the bundle, install it, then realise that I have no graphics card for my computer.
Chapeau to your thinking, my man. Well done. I will just have a computer with no graphics card.

You can buy it, but don't install the bundle right away. Wait until you get a different video card, then install it.

Wait...I want this bundle to fix my computer...not to sit infront of me all boxed up with a "WE NEED A FUCKING GRAPHICS CARD TO WORK" note scribbled all over it.
Again, I repeat, I do not plan to get a new graphics card anytime soon.
