AGP Nvidia Fx5200 Upgrade

[HangTime]

I wouldn't bother sinking more money on memory in that PC - he says it's limited to 1gig (perhaps only 2 slots?) and since he won't be playing on max settings he can probably get away with 1gig RAM.

7600GT would definitely be the upgrade I'd recommend - will give high fps in most titles up to around 1152x864.

400w PSU (300w would be fine but little price difference)

Also worth looking at what anti virus you are using.. being a PB system it maybe running Nortons which will seriously slow down your system

well just had a look a similiar system - and you should be able to change the PSU for most standard PSUs aslong as they aren't any larger than normal...

infact its probably recommended as these 250watt FSPs are apparently quite failure prone (burst/leaky capacitors)

OEMs are always skimping and building the cheapest possible cookie cutter machines...so much for branded PSUs.
