Hey, can anyone help me with this. My computer is:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Advent-DT2111-Desktop-PC-Intel-i5-2320-8GB-RAM-2TB-HDD-/120883306065 (The only link i could find of my computer)

Its well in need of a graphics card update, So i am planning on an upgrade.

I was wanting to know if i could put this graphics card in:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-11200-07-20G-Graphics-HD7850-GDDR5/dp/B008HV63NM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1397788662&sr=1-1&keywords=radeon+7850

I noticed the power supply is pretty bad so i was wondering if i fitted this power supply in would it be compatable:

Huge thanks in advance!

All should work well enough together but a few points.
Check the internal case dimensions with a tape measure, OEM cases can be a law unto themselves.
That Powercool PSU isn't exactly top line stuff-30 Amps on the 12 volt rail is very low, a decent 500 Watt unit can do better and would be a better choice.
I suspect the case is small so a modular unit would be the best option, fewer cables meant better airflow and less chance of overheating something, this is more expensive, but then it's modular, and much better quality: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/520w-seasonic-m12ii-520-modular-87-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx-psu
And this is a better card, for less...

I would definitely upgrade the psu, OEM psus are junk. Otherwise, with the proper drivers installed, you should be good to go.

Worked like a charm! altough case is a bit small and gets hot when playing games, i realized leaving the side of the case off keeps my computer completely cool which isn't hard to do.
Thanks for the great advice :)
