Hey there,

What's your budget...roughly?

Also, you're going to have a potential problem with the fact that it only has a 250w power supply unit - Arrrgh that annoys me!! - and most (decent) PCI-E cards require around 400w minimum. You could change the Power Supply Unit and then fit (almost) your choice of cards.

Otherwise, something like a Geforce 6200 PCI 256 MB would work.

Just want to get something thats better than the standard 128mb would be ok 256 probably cost too much.

£25-60 (ish) lol

Seen quite a few on Ebay for around that range , just wondering what will go into the system.

Thanks for a quick reply btw
