Also, a better psu doesn't exactly increase performance, so long as the psu provides enough power for all the components. The only real benefit of a better psu is power efficiency. But to be blunt, those considerations kind of go out the window when talking budget systems, unless you're willing to build your own, which isn't difficult at all and is what I personally recommend.
Ah, I sort of mis-spoke. The reason I mentioned better power supply was because I was thinking the newer video card would need it (not that the supply itself would increase performance).

I think we have answered his questions and its time to buy and report back to us...

Cheers
