Hi All,

Thanks for the comments. Great to see it doesn't look like i have to completely scrap the machine and could reuse some of the existing things.

Sorry something I forgot to mention is that i do have a 600W modXstem-pro modular PSU in the box too.

I don't have a big budget and so looking for something under £100 at the moment. I've seen quite a few 2GB graphic cards for under £50 (eg. https://www.ebuyer.com/645225-asus-r...5230-sl-2gd3-l) . are they worth it?

Should I upgrade the RAM to 16GB? a work colleague had a 8GB module laying baout this is why there are 2x2GB and 1x8GB.
