May I recommend that you ditch the FX5200 and get the FX5500 256. There wont be a HUGE difference but its better then the 52 and its cheaper.

Actually the XFX FX5200 256 has better clocks speeds. Plus it has two heads for dual screens- unless i can dual screens with the onboard aswell.

From what I can see you're using a Intel P4/Celeron S775.

Try this mother board.

That won't fit in my case. At xmas last year i got £400, so lets pretend thats my budget if I get the same money this year. If I get a new mobo, it needs an AGP/PCI-e x16 slot, and preferably 4 DDR PC3200 slots. Then I'd need to buy the ram, then i'd need to buy the GPU and maybe a new case if the new mobo doesnt fit. Plus I want to buy a sound card and MIDI keyboard, and all this in £400 won't work.

Like I've said before, I'm not looking for the latest games. I don't use my comp primarily for games- I compose music (hence the soundcard etc), browse the net, and play older games like Ren. And about BF2: low settings don't bother me- for the past 6 years I've played on onboard graphics.

The reviews of the mobo i was gonna get show that there is bad PCI-e x16 support:
