I'd like to upgrade the motherboard and processor (and the RAM if necessary) whilst retaining the rest of the box. What would be a good motherboard and CPU combo for the above on a budget of say £150-£200?
Given the silence I guess I'm not playing to people's strengths here!
Can I therefore narrow this down: What CPU would be recommended for a good low-energy-when-idle but good-performance-when-needed, at around the £100 mark? (I'm flexible on price so if there's a compelling reason to spend more I'll consider it.)
When I was last looking at this the Intel I3/I5/I7 range were the way to go.
