Upgrade advice pls!

Right,

instead of stomping my feet in an outrage, and acting like SI have commited genocide, i have decided to upgrade my T-Rex of a computer. At the moment, ill be honest, its a bit of a relic. i have a radeon 9200 gfx card, 512 DDR ram, AMD Athlon XP 2000+ cpu and a motherboard i swear they ripped out of some poor kids old caleco vision and just reconditioned it with tracing paper and tin foil. I was on Ebay earlier looking for motherboard and cpu bundles for sale and a few have grabbed my eye. Im on a budget so would like some advice on which ones will be worth purchasing so i can get back to getting a scolding off the missus for loving footie manager more than her!!.....

i know i will have to upgrade again in the future but the motherboards seem relatively solid so should do for a while, and upgrading the CPU's, RAM and Gfx cards is a given and expected at some point.

any constructive advice would be appreciated as i am sure im starting to get the shakes and withdrawal symptoms due to not being able to play FM09!!!!!

cheers fellas

mate it looks as though you have already put a fair bit of work into researching this so you must have a fair idea of what you want. I would go for package 4 personally.

you would think, but, most of the stuff mentined is just letters arranged to sound techy to me, dont really have a clue what most of it all means tbh

well the 4th package is the only only you have with 4GB of ram, double any of the other packages. They are all good apart from the second one, I would stay away from Sempron processors.

cheers, i thought the second one was a bit shaky.
