Hey guys and girls, i'm upgrading my little and awesome s3810, it is awesome, can even run cod..sometimes..

Well, i've come to liek PC Gaming and need a refresh of my hardware.

I can't afford a new build, but anything around 250 would be the best!

I need a new case ( i have been told to house the new PSU i've been told i need)

New PSU

New GPU.

The motherboard needs to fit in the case, and the motherboard is the Packard Bell iMedia S3810.

Here are my ideas:

That looks pretty good but i would look on overclockers, novatech, or ebuyer for better prices or maybe some bundle deals.

Thanks but i'm in the UK, and i trust amazon so i don't mind paying an extra few pounds.

Thanks for the input though.

Your willing to spend 250 pounds, but your going to buy a GT 440 and a terrible case?
Don't go for cheap and cheerful when building/upgrading a PC, as you will regret it in 6 months time.

Although I wouldn't recommend upgrading until you can afford a whole new build, I chose these. This breaks your budget a little bit but should be a worthy upgrade and able to play games like Battlefield 3 at medium/high settings, depending on your processor of course.

That looks pretty awesome, and i can already run BF3 on medium (i have an i3 that works better than some i5's..for some reason..

Also, it was just a "quick patch" for a new build next year. [=
