I would strongly suggest something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-120-HT

An HD 5670 for 60 pounds. You can probably find it cheaper on a price search engine. It'll play all modern games and make your PC compatible with practically everything.


I am thinking of this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-HD5670-512MB-Express-Graphic/dp/B0032W414O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1291411312&sr=8-1

Will I need any new power supply stuff etc (I know very little about this PC upgrading business)



I play PC and PS3. The best of both worlds.

New power supply? Nope. However you'll need a low profile card, something like this:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-226-SP

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-HD5570-DDR3-Graphics-Card/dp/B0037NYGM0/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1291412615&sr=1-6

Still they are quite fast and compatible with your PC. Furthermore they use less power so even with a small PSU you can easily run them comfortably.

 



Tease.
