But maybe the psu isn't really nessesary.How much amps/watts are there on the 12volt rail and does it have a pcie connector for gpu's?

Vic 40 :

Thank you for the reply, I have been looking at the PSU on Amazon but the GPU is a bit out of my price range unfortunately. As for the PSU i can only tell you that the wattage is 300w as i haven't actually got the computer yet and the site is scarce on details sorry.

P.S i'm looking to spend around £130 altogether

ASUS used an AcBel 350W peak / 300W continuous PSU in those desktop units

The maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating on that PSU is 18 Amps. There is no PCI Express supplementary power connectors on that PSU.

Without a power supply upgrade the best graphics card you could run in that system is the AMD Radeon HD 7750.

If the psu is within range of your budget,what could you spend on a gpu?
Or what is your total maximum budget

Get at least a 450W PSU and for a GPU go with the R9 270/280 depending on your budget.

Thank you for the information, you are very helpful!

Because they do not ship to the UK, I have found the GPU on Amazon and it said it needed a 500w PSU?
Would this one be okay?

And is this the GPU?

That's already quite over your initial budget,can you really spend that?
Does it have to be from amazon?

The cheapest stores aren't amazon here.

If you can spend a bit more and it doesn't have to be amazon you could get the corsair builder 500watt from there and the next card which would be even better,

That's for about the same price as the hd 7850 you linked and a better gpu.

Thank you, but I've already ordered a 7770 for under my "£130" budget with a 500w psu. Kinda wished i had waited now
