I'm a bit rusty on the latest and greatest kit out there. I'm thinking of upgrading my rig - Intel 875PBZLK mobo, 3.0Ghz processor, Radeon X800GT AGP, 2GB PC3200. I haven't tried oc'ing it - the mobo isn't renowned for it's oc'ing ability.

I read about DirectX-10, SLi, X-fire, Core Duo, AM2... where to start.

So, suggestions lads - thanks.
