Hey there
I'm looking at upgrading my budget PC that I bought a few months ago, I need a better graphics card and with that a bigger PSU. I've been doing a little research (which in hindsight I should have done before buying the PC ) and was looking at an Asus GeForce GTX550ti (not sure if I would get an overclocked version yet) since my current PSU is only 220W, I need to upgrade. Current graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 420.
I should probably also mention that I am thinking of adding a further 4 gig of ram whilst upgrading the graphics card and psu.
I'm starting to get a tad confused when it comes to chosing a PSU now though and was wondering if any one could point me in the right direction.
This is the model specs of my current machine Aspire X3960 | Product Model. Thanks in advance

So, while waiting for my question to be moderated I did a little more research... And whilst I feel I am learning something, I am also starting to feel as though I have thrown myself into a pool with no ladders
Am I right in saying that I will need a PSU, with at least 1 6 pin video card power connector? And it wouldn't hurt to add in one or two extra case fans, right?
I should mention that the computer won't be used for anything as intense like Battlefield, it will mainly be used for Sims3 (yes, I know ) and very occasionally WoW.
