Default Time to upgrade the PC- help please!

Guys / Girls,

I currently have a Shuttle X-Pc, P4 3ghz with 2 gig of ram.

I have an Nvidia Geforce 6200 graphics card in it. Not sure what the motherboard is, but the whole thing is a couple of years old now.

I don't play many games- its mainly used for internet, but I recently bought the new Command and Conquer, and the latest settlers game, and I was surprised at how much it struggles on relatively low settings.

I'd like to keep the small case but replace the motherboard, processor and graphics.

It doesn't need to be the fastest machine ever, but I'd like something that can play games reasonably well.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks.
Simon.

You'd have to find a shuttle motherboard - I'm not sure you can buy them seperately....they usually come as part of a SHuttle 'Barebones' package.

As for the rest ofthe hardware I'd be looking for

Intel Core 2 Duo - 2Ghz+
2gb RAM

Not sure about grafix card - I'm not up-to-date on them.
