6850, PSU & RAM sound like a decent upgrade. Will see a nice improvement in gaming performance.

but my budget is around £120 should I get PSU and GPU first
or GPU and RAM first

I never feel heat coming out of the computer, only cool air

I would save up and get the lot together as by the time you factor in delivery costs you'll probably end up paying up more in the long run.

If you get free delivery or can pick up from the store I would go with psu and gpu.

the reason we say get a new psu, well me anyway, is that i have seen many psu tests in my time and the cheap generic ones generally if not always fail to survive the test as they blow up way before they get anywhere near their claimed output. most can only output 50%, which will be fine for your current setup, but once you start upgrading and pulling more power, this is when most people that skimp on the psu find they have to spend much more money, as they now need a new psu at least. at worst a whole new system.

remember you can sell your current psu and memory to recoup a bit of money too.

Nova tech 650w Ultra Gamer PSU

Oh dear, that's a ticking time bomb if ever there was one. When will people learn not to skimp on the PSU

Get a decent PSU above all else.

 

[T345]

But, if all these PSU's are rubbish, why does OcUK stock them???
OK, if I sell the PSU then what and the ram. Ok i'll get £20
Because on ebay and all of them other websites the average consumer looks and is like 'Ohh 700w for £10!'

 

[IvanDobskey]

There's obviously a market for cruddy psu's

Problem is the rubbish ones tend to blow up all your other components when they go pop!
