You might need a new psu as well, to handle the card.

My PC is good and up to date and has a blu-ray player however just need a new graphics card could someone state some for me for a good price.....

I was thinking of this card - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 however when i type it into ebuyer i get other card names then NVIDIA do these actually make a differance or whats the differance are they not as good.

As long as you have a monitor with at least a 1680x1050 resolution, then I recommend this
Play.com (UK) : PNY XLR8 GeForce GTX 260 V2 / 896MB DDR3 / PCI Express 2.0 / Graphics Card : Computing - Free Delivery

How would i find out the power supply on my PC and how much would a 550w be...

You'll have to open up your pc and look for a sticker on your psu. It will tell you all about it, watts and amps. The most important is how many amps are on the 12v rails. But you need a psu with 2 PCI-E 6pin power connectors to power a GTX 260. Also make sure the card will fit in that Acer case, those cards are like 10.5" long.
