Spec me a shuttle please :).

[Tomdun]

My old shuttle is really not coping well these days. I am in need of a new one. Budget is about £650 really. All I need is the following:

graphics card
proc
hard drive (300gb ish)


I already have: monitor, keyboard, mouse, dvdrw.

Now I need the fastest gaming machine that money can buy me, at the moment I have a 6800gt AMD 3000+ and 1 gb ram. It really struggles in modern games. I would like to return to a place where I get 30 fps at least .

Here is what I roughly thought of:

-065-SH Shuttle XPC SN21G5 Aluminium Barebones System - AMD 64 (Socket 939) (FS-065-SH)
£184.90 £184.90
CP-152-AM AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (Socket 939) - OEM (CP-152-AM)
£159.95 £159.95
HD-096-MD Maxtor MaxLine III NCQ 300GB 7V300F0 SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-096-MD)
£63.95 £63.95
Subtotal £408.80
VAT £71.54
Total £480.34


Although theres no graphics card there , I dont know about the latest cards so didnt feel ready to pick one yet .

*edit*
Dual core would be nice as I do a lot of 3D max rendering and premier and after effects etc for uni. All of which are very slow on my current set up.

Anyway, thanks for your help guys.
