I think i am going to need a graphics update in the near future. What would be better?
Run Sli Geforce 9500GT and buy another £50 card\
or
Buy another £150 new card? And Any recommendations.

Thanks

gpu upgrade is a must. the 9500gt will be a huge bottleneck, try and get the 5850 or something if not he 5770 is about 120ish.

Which 600W psu? There's really, really big differences between different 600W power supplies.

4 terabyte hard drives don't exist yet, so I'm guessing that's a typo. 9500GT sli is almost certainly a bad approach to take, it's a very slow card.

I'd definately think of ditching that card and look at buying a 5850 or similar card

Yeah get a 5770 or higher and 4TB must be a mistake?

cheers all... I think i will get a 5770 or higher.
