EDIT: Just read that the Dell Inspiron 531 has a 300watt PSU, I would not suggest anything above a 8600GTS, which is cheap and will improve all aspects of gaming on your PC.
Around £60inc.VAT. Am not into big gaming, just enough to run HD and PCSX2 FFX playable (even on lowest GFX settings) with 30-60fps.

Where did you read the Dell Inspiron 531 specs from? 300W PSU? I guess I can always upgrade the PSU.. but like I said I am short on cash and can't...

You recommended a entire system? I don't have cash and probably can only afford a GFX card upgrade.
