Upgrade time!

It's about time I upgrade that machine of mine. It's vintage by now. I've had it since 2003. It can't run any of the new sweet games. Ahh.. the sadness...

Because of a very short budget, I can't go crazy on the specs, but at least it will be something I can live with for now and maybe upgrade it more later.

My first choice of CPU was the AMD athlon x2 6000+, but intel nowadays gives you more juice for your buck so I think I will go for the Core 2 Duo E7400, E7500 or E8400.
So that settles the "which socket?" question. LGA775 it is.
Moving on to the Motherboard, I definitely want performance, but on the other hand I'm not gonna go crazy on overclocking, so there's not much point in getting a high-end mobo.

Now for the "which brand" and "which chipset" questions:
I really hate MSI for that lame KT6 VIA they made. It sucked big time and I was stuck with it for 5 years.
Abit closed-down, so that leaves me with Asus, and Gigabyte. At this point I got lucky because I really wanted the P45 chipset, but could only afford the P43 for around 75 euros, and then I found an Asus P5QC refurbished, with the P45, at the price of P43!
Sadly it only has 6 months waranty, doesn't include any cables or manual, (or anything else beside the board), and I don't even know if it works, but what the hell it's cheap.

So what's missing now is a GPU and some dimms.
For the GPU I'm thinking a second-hand 8800GTX, or a 4850 ATi.
I don't care much for the dimms as long as they're DDR2 1066Mhz. Later-on I can upgrade to DDR3 since my mobo supports both.
