This is what you'll want for £100. What power supply does your system have?

 

[daniel508]

800W

Go for it,

EDIT : Actually, what brand is the PSU?

BTW I wouldn't bother with the ram upgrade. It is unlikely that you ever go over 4gb. DL a program that tracks RAM usage and see if you actually need more before spending the money.

i cant remember the brand of the PSU im afraid
thanks about the Ram upgrade, i will monitor it and see what happens

Well, just make sure it has two PICE 6-pin power connectors, though, it most likely does, as it would be a waste to package a 800W PSU w/o one...
