That's if you don't need a monitor or OS. Might be able to go for AM3, but it would probably take you a bit over.

Cheers guys, i have already got a monitor. not the best its an old dell one, does monitor make a big difference or is it just for the resolution? Also i will stick to old operating system (XP) should have added this last night my apologies.

I5 750 performs very well in games and general purpose. When you have more cash buy a aftermarket cooler and overclock the I5 750
Te ati 4890 is now a very cheap card for performance too and it'll keep you going for plenty of time yet
Added a Modular PSU so you can remove unwanted cables as the case isnt the biggest in the world.

If you can afford another £20 get the 1TB samsung f3 32mb cache.
Smasung f3 1TB

Shame your on XP though as it will only recognise 3gb fo the 4gb Memory
