So are you saying that the graphics card you advised is BETTER than the one in the system Crazy posted? And therefore it would work out BETTER to add that graphics card onto my system? Or would it be about the same?? Thanks alot for your help dude I will keep your advice in mind.

Sorry, been watching the Diana concert.

Anyway, in short: Yes, the 7900GS is a much more powerful option than the 7300se

Not worth 180 quid, and not what you need. The cpu is much slower than the one you already have and the graphics card is lousy, it also doesn't support shader 3.0 (games made in the past couple of years require shader 3.0- lot of threads on this recently). Anyway, again, your best bet is to upgrade the graphics card and add extra ram to the system you already have considering your quoted budget.

Ok thanks for that. Sorry for the continuous questions, but what would I have to do to CONFIRM that I will definitely get the most out of the new graphics card and RAM?

Not a problem regarding the questions Jack, ask away. It's why we're here and if you don't know then you don't know.

In what respect do you want confirmation?

You said it may cause bottlenecks due to my motherboard, cpu combo I think? What would I have to buy then to be certain that I will get the most out of the card?
