save up 500-600 and buy a new system after the new dx10 cards become more established
Dont take it the wrong way but its a waste to put more money into that system :)

On a serious note, if you really want to upgrade, you'll have to buy a new mobo, new CPU (3500+ minimum), new memory and a new grafix card.

Think £180 is a bit limited tbh

You could easily get a 60£ mobo with socket 939, agp AND pci-e, and DDR ram and a 939 cpu of your choice.

Should stay within your budget. Maybe 15-20 over if you choose a X2 cpu (wich i would :))

The mobos are called:

ASUS A8V-MX
ASRock 939DUAL-SATA2
ASRock 939DUAL-VSTA

Pretty sweet that they are so backwards compatible :p
