Current PC :

AMD Dual Core - 4200GHz @ 2.2ghz
Motherboard : Gigabyte Model - GA - M55PLUS-S3G rev A2
DDR2 GeIL 2GB Low Latency ram
GeForce 7600GT - Currently
Cd Drive + DVD Drive - Seperate
2xHD's *40Gig + 120Gb*

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Oh just read you need a 475watt PSU for that. So what you need to get is an ATX compliant 475+ watt PSU. You can get them from Ebuyer...
