Don't get an 8400GS. It sucks ass and in the only way it's better than the old 9600PRO you have is it's DX10. Don't expect to run ANY DX10 games on medium or high. Also, pentium dual core is ultra fail.

only reason im not using the 8400 and the pentium d is because the mobo they were using got fried by a burst capacitor.
the pentium dual core is pretty good for what i want it for and it is overclocked and well cooled.

I dont exactly have much money to go by at the moment so what i have will have to do me for the time being but thanks for the interest in trying to help me out if that was your intent.

Couldn't you at least spend a little more money and get at least an 8600GT? Like come on, how can you even think of gaming for the future with anything less than an 8600GT?

Pentium D processors are not "ultra fail". They are actually pretty good, just not in comparison to the new Core 2 Duo processors. If his is indeed overclocked (not underclocked Xet, don't get those two mixed up) it should suit him fine for another year or so.

No, I'm afraid all pentium processors are horrible failures, except for the pentium m.

Should I point him to that 8 ghz oc'ed Pentium EE and then ask him if all Pentium processors are "horrible failures"?

The fact i only had arround £32 to spend a on a new video card as ive just replaced my motherboard to beable to use my pentium d makes me say No i couldnt have "atleast gotten a 8600".
Once ive got a decent paid job i may think about upgrading a bit higher than what i have now but that is not an option of my current situation.

dr nick the cpu in that picture isn't mine, but it was on a topic of the overclockers forum as a example to prove the sucker above me that he was wrong about pentium processors being "ultra fail".
