I'm looking to upgrade my PC internaly and am not sure what is the best setup to get.

My comp at the moment is a Dell 2400. 2.8ghz P4
I've added a GeForce FX5700 128meg PCI
and have 1024mg PC2700 ram.

I'm looking at changing the motherboard so i can upgrade my graphics to a PCI-e or an AGP one so i can run bigger and faster games.
Currently my motherboard only has PCI slots which is shit.

Can i just buy a new Motherboard and transfer my processor over or do i have to buy a new Processor with the board???

What do people recomend and how easy is it to set up etc.

You can buy just a motherboard from places like Maplin. If you want to use your existing processor i.e. P4, then you have to buy the correct board. A lot of online PC companies will tend to do a package deal where you get a MB with processor for a very good price.
