Desktop Upgrade

    Hi,
    I'm looking to upgrade my current computer. I'm going to be keeping most of my old equipment and just replacing the motherboard, CPU and RAM. I'll also be upgrading to an SSD and using the old HD for media.

    I'm hoping to spend 550 maximum but preferably less and need to order from a online store which accepts credit cards, so unfortunately I won't be able to order from hardwareversand.


    So far I've picked these out:
    Upgrade kit: ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP - Intel i5-3470
    Crucial m4 256GB mSATA 6Gb/s
    Total €542.94

    The computer is used for memory intensive applications, hence the 16gigs of RAM, but also for web, email, movies and music. It may occasionally be used for games but I already have a decent enough graphics card.

    I'd like to hear some opinions and alternatives. Any advice is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
