8800GT is quite an old card now, something like an AMD HD 7750 would be roughly similar or slightly better I would imagine.

If you have more to spend then there's obviously better options depending on your power supply.

Lol sorry, it wouldn't let me add an attachment.

Price wise £100 ish maybe.??

At the moment it seems to just get used for gaming by the kids

Can't help with the power supply unless it tells me somewhere on the pute.

Oh not sure if this even matters but photo editing will happen quite often soon.
