First thing that comes to mind is your need for 1GB of ram and a new video card. However unless your PC wil support PCIe, it's hard to suggest an investment, as AGP is a dead technology.

How do i find out?Do you know if you the AGP or PCIe interface.
Also its a relatively new computer so im guessing it would support that ?

Good news is that you have a PCI-Ex16 slot. Depending on your budget we can recommend a new video card for you but it will most likely need a new power unit to run it.

System Memory 1024 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
It tells me that the RAM in my computer is DDR2-667. That is the information that you need.
Standard power supplies usually aern't made to power mid to high range video cards. Usually an upgrade is needed when upgrading the video card. In order to check you current PSU spec you will need to open up the case. On the side of the unit (the box at the top of the case where the 110v cable plugs in) it should display your max wattage and you amperage per each voltage rail.
Report your max. wattage of your PSU as well as the amount of amp on the +12v rail.

is my one.
Is there any other way i could find out the PSU like ring up customer service or in the manual? im a little worried about opening the case and how to even do this,
when i looked on the back it said 200 - 240 v 50Hz dunno if that means anything

Pop it open and have a look around. If you touch anything keep one hand on the chasis of your case. This grounds yourself and prevents ESD. Go ahead and look where your RAM slot and your video card will go. Get familiar with the inside of your system.
Report the information I asked for in my last post whenever you get a chance.
Edit: This will make a good and inexpensive memory upgrade: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820220063
