Default Time to upgrade some components

Well, the current refurbishment work at my place of work has given me more hours than usual (figure that) so my payslip for this month is a bit more reasonable than usual. Therefore I'm looking to do a spot of upgrading with my CPU, and of course with the CPU I have to upgrade the mobo.

Been looking at a nice little bundle on Amazon that gives me a:
Intel Dual Core E5300 2.6GHz CPU Processor -


Gigabyte GA-G41MT-ES2L Motherboard -


4Gb (2x 2Gb) DDR3 1333MHz Memory Bundle BU001E


For about £132.95.

This is my current spec:
Quote:
<<< System Summary >>>
> Manufacturer : Hewlett-Packard Company
> Mainboard : Hewleet-Packard Asterope
> Chipset : ATI RS400/RC400/RC410
> Processor : Intel Pentium 4 524 @ 3066MHz
> Physical Memory : 2048MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM )
> Video Card : ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series
> Hard Disk : Maxtor 6V160E0 (160GB)
> Hard Disk : Seagate ST3250823AS (250GB)
> DVD-Rom Drive : Toshiba-Samsung CD/DVDW TS-H552D
> Monitor Type : Hewlett Packard HP vs17 - 17 inches
> Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RTL8139/810x Fast Ethernet Adapter
> Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2 (32-bit)
> DirectX : Version 9.0c (May 2010)
I might pay another forty quid and throw a 1TB SATAII HD and SATA power cable and data cable in there as well. After that, I think really it's just a little upgrade on the graphics card front, I'm looking at a HD5570 and mulling it over. It might just do it.

Thoughts?
