Well I have a dilema.

Im basically using my computer for basic like emails, youtube, facebook and World of Warcraft, might get the new COD when it comes out.

Im running on a integrated GPU which is NAFF, it runs wow fine on low graphics.
But im wanting it on full graphics just for the look.

Now im getting around £150 in a week or two.
The current PSU came with my case and its a 450w. So its going to be crap with a dedicated GPU in it....

So im thinking what PSU and GPU should I get for £150 any advice please!

Kris.
 
Well after doing some benchmarking I am going with the the GTX 460.
But what I dont understand how there is one for £120 and another for £250
There both the same but GTX 460 but one has another 200mb of RAM built in or something.

Why is there such a increase in price?

Also, do the GPU's just connect to the PSU with a 4 pin molex?

Right thats all sorted.
Now my other question is :D

My 17.5" monitor is 6 years old.....
Its currently connected via VGA cable, but has a VGI connector in the back as well, can I get a VGI cable for my monitor and plug it in the back of the monitor and GPU, will this make it look better?
 
Yes DVI sorry.

Until I can afford a HD monitor im sticking with my tiny 6 year old crap haha.

Were could I buy a DVI cable that goes into my monitor and GPU?
Instead of connecting it into the Mobo do I connect the monitor DVI cable to the GPU yes?
