I would recommend at least 8GB ram, intel have took the market with their i5 and i7 quad cores. As for motherboard...I like my Asus but I'm sure others will be along with different opions...

i paid slightly over 1000US to make this,you could find cheaper alternatives.

think that's about 650GBP..this one i got some deals on and ended up around 700US if i remember

it will play everything at at least high,but i'm not all that big of a gamer..plays skyrim with the texture pack at ultra on a 40" 1080p.

if it ain't broke don't fix it, i am jealous of many of IH, they got good rigs - mine is a bit dated but it does what i want it to most of the time
so if you've got extra cash - and are feeling some anger towards said puter - then yes upgrade - else - if it's ok, not like O.K. but getting along and doing it's thing rightly, then buy other stuffs man
even though i've been contemplating upgrading my rig too, it's just that cash is not that readily available to me... spend it if you got it

when you pick a video card the ATI vs nVidia debate is never an easy pick. ATI tends to have better numbers on their cards, but similar nVidia cards with worse hardware have similar benchmarks, i've heard that they have better software. mainly you need one that meats your price range. and if you decide to go with SLI or CrossFire be sire your Motherboard is compatible.

welcome to isoHunt monkeydung! ... it's really like a big happy family here -
plus djdezzie was right 8gb ram would be better than 4gb, but when it(i mean I) re-read your post i saw the 1T mem and was thinking 1TB RAM !!!! AWESOME!!!!
