He has a OCZ 600w. Not the best PSU out there, but should handle the rig fine.

ok so installed the new card. It performs pretty well. I can run BF3 on a mix between High/Medium settings which is not bad considering I've got a shit processor I guess.

I'm getting between 40/50 FPS sometimes drops to 32.

The highest temperature on my card was 74C when I was playing BF3. When not playing its around 45C.

I guess thats not too high?

The temp is acceptable but I would suggest you clean out any noticeable dust in the case.
I would assume you have DDR2-800MHz ram (4GB)?
After some internet research (GOOGLE!), it seems like your motherboard does not support DDR3 and only have PCI-E v1.1... I suggest you to buy another motherboard... (and CPU and ram)...

Why? I run a 560ti on a board that only supports DDR2 & PCI-E 1.1, and it runs just fine.

everything should be fine, maybe if you could some how get a little more air circulating inside the case this might cool down your Video card a little but it is nothing to worry about.

Your good to go, but as mentioned above, maybe get some more airflow in the case. Another case fan or 2 or if there is no space for more fans then just get a higher airflow fan to help things out a bit.
