Need advice please?!

What is the maximum amount of RAM I can put in to this PC and what is the best GPU it can handle (here are the specs!)?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you. What about the GPU? Which should I purchase that will run nicely?

 

[Gav_881]

It will run any of the current range of GPU's, whats your budget?

What are you planning to use the system for?

Also just double check the power supply. I know it says 300W in the link but it's worth confirming. (Remove side panel of the case and have a look at the sticker on the PSU). Also have a look to see how many 6pin PCI-E connectors the power supply has.

The main limiting factor is likely to be the space inside this case. Get a rule and see how much space you have a new card.

Can't go much more than a low end gpu due to the 300w psu and probable lack of pci-e gpu connectors.

I am going to use it for gaming. Games like Call of Duty 4, Skyrim, Day Z . Not too fussed about having it maxed out, just no FPS lag. Willing to spend up to £150 on a new GPU.

Also, can the 8GB RAM be DDR3 or won't my computer support DDR3?

 

[pastymuncher]

DDR2 only.

DDR2 only.

Okay thanks man.

Any chance you could link me to a worthwhile GPU?
