Hi, i'm not an expert, however you could get a cheap quadcore AMD 965 for £128, am3 board with graphics for bout £90, and then spend another £90 on the ram. IT depends how much of your computer you want to upgrade, that should be quite responsive for browsing internet and general computing.
This is what i got, its in american currency but yeah im not sure where you are from. The ram also has a $20 dollar mail-in rebate so its below $300 dollars with the shipping. These are also all from Newegg.com ASUS M4N68T-M AM3 NVIDIA Geforce 7025/nForce 630a Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Model #:M4N68T-M Item #:N82E16813131626 $54.99 AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor Model HDX945WFGIBOX Model #:HDX945WFGIBOX Item #:N82E16819103696 $149.99 OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P1333LV4GK Model #:OCZ3P1333LV4GK Item #:N82E16820227478 $87.99 with $20 mail-in rebate Subtotal: $292.97 + $8 dollar shipping?
