I guess that is feasible.

I don't know what the bit about Reinstall to own HDD is about either.

Hmmmmm. ...... well I have to agree with serverguy ..... this guy certainly didn't do you any favours.

A new case approx £30-£35
512mb RAM approx £25-£30
AMD 3000+ Sempron 18 months ago maybe £50 approx ..... current price £18 here

Also he fitted a Sempron, which is a slow cut down Athlon CPU .... not really useful for anything demanding at all.

Looks like he charged you around £185 or more Labour, for at most a few hours work.

You can pretty much get anything, if you're not a gamer. Most if not all new cards have dual outputs. Try a 8500 or something.
