Yes, to fully upgrade my PC, I would need a new motherboard, memory, graphic card and maybe a new psu, would work out to just under 200 pounds or above it infact, I plan on building a new PC at the end of the year.
But I can get a good sound card now and just move it over to the new PC at a later date.
I can't upgrade anything else on my PC, am already using the second best graphic card I can get for my AGP socket, CPU is a A-Socket, so can't really upgrade that.

Save your birthday money put it towards a complete upgrade.
If you're using Socket A then you really do need to upgrade your PC . It is not worth spending all that money on that sound card for 10FPS.

I can afford the sound card and speakers now and these can be moved to the new PC end of the year, so in a sense, am starting to build the new PC now, but for a whole new machine, I can't, well, I could do a basic upgrade package for 200 or so, but I might as well, just save so I can afford the best parts, which is gonna cost 500 or more quid.
I'm no rush, my PC serves me very well, even through it is a A socket, it is very fast in booting and stable, am able to play any game, including crysis.

Well just after last christmas I built a barebones system for £192. I already had a GPU and SC. With the £192 I bought (With special next day delivery); (Please no oh you should have got this cpu and that ram..This isn't a discussion on what he should buy just stating what I did.)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ , Windsor Core, Dual Core 3.0GHz, 1MB Cache, Retail (£97.50)
-
FoxConn N570SM2AA-8EKRS2H (£49.00)
-
2GB (2x1GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800), 240 Pins, Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12, DHX (£39.50)
That was 5 months or so now you could probably get the same system cheaper... Have a look on here and see what you can find.

Scan FTW!
Also, Crucial.com is good for cheap RAM too.

Is that processor good quality? also what socket? AM2 or AM2+ ?
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Define quality...
Its not the best CPU around and it wasn't the best CPU around when I bought it, most of the Duo CPUs would beat it in benchmark tests however it was the best AMD had to offer and it was under £100.
Its AM2.. AM2+ is for the newer Trips and Quads.
