I bought a Zoostorm Pentium DC E5800 3.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, DVDRW
Motherboard - ASUS P5G41T-M LX2/GB/SI
300W PSU
8 x USB,
1 x PCIEx16,
1 x PCIEx1,
2 x PCI,
5.1 Channel Audio
DDR3 1333
2 x 2GB DDR3 1333 Sticks in the unit

What I want to do is install a graphics card (dont know much about computers) and I need a better power supply, what would be the best? (for battlefield 3) I was looking at the GeForce GTX 560 Ti'Maximum Graphics Edition' + would this work with my pc and could you suggest a power supply?
Thanks in advance
 
That 300W PSU will definitely die with a 560ti (or anything for that matter :). Good thing you ask.

1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXV2UK) £70.99
1 x Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £69.98
1 x Antec TruePower New Modular 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
1 x XFX Pro 550W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £58.99
1 x Lepa W-Series 600W '80 Plus' Power Supply £56.99

Depends if you are skint or can spend a little. A Corsair TX650V2 / TP-650 will power up to a GTX580. The Antec TP-550 / XFX Core 550W good up to a 570. The rest probably up to a 560ti, maybe 570. Recommendation would be middle of the road, a TP-550.

I cant find a picture with the case open + I am waiting for the pc to arrive still. I did some researching and its apparently a std ATX unit case
