    Why exactly did you do that? Feeling like going on a spending spree or something?

    LOL @ this thread.

    What were you thinking?

    The PSU might need beefing up if you start adding things. Can you not take it back?

    Next time in the store, don't forget to pop round to the games section and see how many games won't run with the specs of the shop sold antiques.
    Mind you, from the latest ads it looks like if you're pretty fit and unshaven you're guaranteed to get off with one of the staff (probably female, but who knows your luck?)

    Before anyone considers going to pc world to buy a pc please take 10 minutes to do some meditation, hit oneself with a rather large stick and some intense therapy.

    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    I had a PCWorld compaq in the past with no problems, and my grandparents have a Sempron powered one now and it gives no hassle.
