Hi Michael,

Sorry to hear you're having hardware issues, below is the original 
specifictions for the system:

1 x CPU Cooling Fan & Heatsink - Arctic Cooling (AC-FRZ-64P) Freezer64 
Pro with Heat pipe cooling
1 x Graphics Card - Leadtek 7200GS 256MB DDR2 DVI VGA TVO PCI-E
1 x DVD-RW Optical Drive - LG GSA-H62NBAL 18X SATA DVD±RW/DL/RAM in 
Black (Bare Drive OEM)
4 x Memory - Crucial 1GB DDR2 PC2-6400/800MHz CL4-4-4-12 Ballistix 2.2V 
SLI Ready
1 x Mouse - Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse USB/PS/2 in Black (Retail boxed)
1 x Keyboard - Microsoft Black Wired PS/2 Keyboard 500 (Retail Boxed)
1 x Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Socket AM2 2.6GHz -L2 2MB (2 x 
1MB) Cache (Retail Boxed)
1 x Motherboard - Asus M2N-E SLI Nvidia nForce 500 SLI MCP Socket AM2 
8channel audio ATX Motherboard (Retail Boxed)
1 x System Enclosure - Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Mid Tower Case 
with 500W EarthWatts Power Supply

The PSU should be more than adequate to power your system even with the 
new graphics card. If needed I can test the PSU and run a full hardware 
test on the rest of the hardware using Eurosoft PCCheck.

Regards,

Gavin Coles
