Just a couple of questions, would 1024mb ram do for that system or would I need 2 gb ram?

How is the power supply on there?

I'm on a bit of budget so is there anything on that liste I can afford to reduce ie. things that arent worth the extra price...
 
Wow that seems like an awfully overpriced PC...

Anyways, the PSU is most likely bad, seeing the brand is "Be Quiet". That video card seems REALY overpriced, but I don't know the prices of other countries. I would say 2GB of ram is definetly worth it, but if you can't stretch the budget, you can always upgrade later.
 
hmm, so what would inevitably happen if I got the power supply and it was crap ? How would I know that it's crap?

Also, aside from the price on the card. is it good ?

I could always upgrade from 1gb to 2gb but is it essential to have 2gb from the offset or could I get away with it?
 
Well, usually if it's a brand you've never heard of, it's most likely not that good. Do you have the detailed specs of the powersupply?

As for ram, you can get away with 1GB unless you're playing very ram intensive games and such.

The PSU is a rebadged Topower, but an older unit. Certainly adequate for the system, and not the sort of thing that will blow up in your face, it's still not something I would have chosen, given the price. Do you have a list of options to choose from?
