You really should change the video card to the Sapphire HD4850 as it's much faster than the HD3870, and it's only 20$ more after MIR. The Corsair 450VX 450W power supply is enough for your system if you want to stay on budget.
You should go to a pc hardware store in your city and buy a good brand power supply like Corsair, Enermax, PC Power & Cooling or Seasonic. The one at futureshop is overpriced and not a reliable brand.
[QUOTE="ShimmerMan"]so you have a Acer desktop. Nope you need a upgrade. Depending on which card you choose you'll need at least 500w psu with decent 12v amps and a PCI-e connector.stillmatic-
I think he has a custom built PC with a aspire chasis http://www.eurowide-pc.co.uk/aspire-xdiscoveryal-silver-case-p-116.html I actually thought acer aspire was laptop only. but I see they do desktops too.

That's good enough airflow, so he shouldn't have a problem with a single-slot video card like the hd4850. That's the card I recommend too. Best price/performance card.
