Just wanting to know if this a wise idea :D.

But, make a differant basket if you think you can make a better one for me.

Whats the spec for the rest of your system?

For the case, you may want to spend the extra few quid and get this.

As for the RAM, you will definately see an inprovement going from 2GB to 4 GB, which only costs £8.

If you can stretch to £80 on the graphics, this card is SIGNIFICANTLY faster.

Click to expand...

I already have 2gb so isnt it wise to just get 2gb and have 4gb there? Or is it better to get the 4gb stright off?

EDIT: Btw if i were to get that graphics card i would most definatly need another PSU, the one im running now is a rubbish stock one.
 
Well personally, if you want to upgrade your PC, forget the case for now and get better performance components. Then if you need a better case, upgrade it when you have the money.
 
I just remembered (im on laptop atm) I have 1 more slot so ill go for the 4gb stright off.

And jazzy i need a new case the way i start up my pc is by jump starting it by touching the 2 wires because i bust all my buttons :p
 
Thats probably a good idea, the coolermaster stock fans are not the best.

I know you are trying to keep costs down, but if you want some REALLY nice fans that are quiet and shift a lot of air, these are awesome.
 
My bad, you could go for this instead, shifts a bit less air and is even quieter. I'm sure the 1200rpm ones will be back in stock soon, they are pretty popular.
 
Well maybe in the next week because thats the most i can wait because my computer is in a pritty bad condition.
 
Okay, so far from all your advice (thanks :p) im going for this, little over budget but im sure my parents would throw in the rest.
