I have 600 to spend and I was thinking of upgrading my Motherboard, Processor, Ram and Harddrive. I am from the UK so I shall be purchasing these items from Scan.
Here is the link to the products page.


I was thinking of getting a:


Asus A8N-E S939 PCI-E NF4-Ultra DDR400 SATAII GbE Lan 8Ch Audio USB2
64.95


AMD Athlon 64 4000+ 'San Diego'
206.95


XFX GeForce 7800GT Extreme LED Edition
204.95

1Gb (2 x 512 Mb) Corsair TwinX, DDR, PC3200C2PT, Cas 2,
76.32

160Gb SATA300 Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 10
55.80


TOTAL 608.95


Is there anyway you guys can reduce this to 600 or swap any componants that are more bang-for-my-buck. I'm not to fussed about my hard drive capacity, but I would like to own a high end system.

My current specs.

Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz socket 478
Graphics - BFG 6600GT OC
RAM - 512mb (generic type)
Motherboard - Asrock P4S64
Harddrive - 80Gig capacity

Should I skip the 7800GT and keep my 6600GT?

[i]Edit: ****, I forgot, my 6600GT is an AGP slot car.

Personally, I would say to go with a slightly smaller HDD if you can. Otherwise, I'm not sure what to say.
