K, Christmas is kinda coming up. I've got £100. I need (pretty much) a whole new computer. But the point of this is that it has to be upgradable, so it can be shit to start with, but just better than what I've got just now.

I'd need:

Motherboard, GFX card (If mobo doesn't support AGP), CPU and Memory.

Current specs: Dunno what mobo, 7600GT, 2.5Ghz P4 and 1GB DDR @ 333Mhz.

£100 is not gonna get you anything new, sorry. £250-300 would be a different thing.

cheapest CPU is about 35£, mobo another 50£. Ram is 20£. BAM! I'm already over the limit and don't even have a GPU or PSU yet

AGP compatible mobo, don't need GPU.
Got a PSU. Got many of them infact.

£200 shipped is the lowest I could go on ebuyer. Good mobo, decent GPU (a tad better than yours), 2GB of ram, pretty shit CPU (overclockable).

AGP compatible mobo is not upgradeable.

I would give you my 8600GTS for 30 euros + shipping if you can wait until I upgrade to a 4870. Perhaps until Christmas.

Stop saying it's impossible. It isn't. You gotta realize what shit he is on now.

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/Freezer7Pro/finnyyoucheapfuck.png

Graphics card will be a downgrade, CPU is about twice as fast, twice the RAM and a really shit mobo that'll let you run at maybe 2.5GHz. It probably won't last for too long, it's a fucking MSI.

You could probably get upwards £40-£50 for that graphics card of yours on eBay, go sell it.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

That build would run games a lot worse than his current (7300Gs Is like half the power of 7600GT)

And would not be upgradable, since the mobo is shit.

Any 1066MHz bus 65nm CPU. It'll open up for graphics card upgrades, and double his RAM. Clocking that CPU up to 2.4-2.6GHz will be quite a lot of power already.

I'm only fulfilling a request; He asked for a £100 rig, I got him a £100 rig. It isn't a very good rig, but you can't argue that it won't beat his 2.5GHz Northwood by miles.

Plus, overclocking a 7300 will make it about half as fast as a 7600GT.
