from what i can find on the interweb it seems to use this psu which looks like a normal atx  http://www.blackmoreit.com/products/packard-bell-ixtreme-ixtreme-m3720/dsdps-250ab-22-delta-electronics-dps-250ab-22-250w-atx-power-supply.html but wouldn't be enough to run a gtx 560

but the fact that its a normal atx form psu means it  should be easily upgradeable to somthing like this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w-psu-ocz-technology-zs-series-ocz-zs550w-uk-86-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-queit-fa

maybe even fran could help you :P

I googled the case, and from looking at 01:40 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq6Td637CrU I can say that it looks like the above PSU will be able to fit no problem (screw holes match up). As the PSU has 20+4 holes it'll fit the board.

Do you have a onboard sound card and a PCI soundcard? If you use the PCI soundcard, turn off the onboard sound in the BIOS. If you only have the onboard sound card, update it.

Your sound card is more than likely onboard.  The audio connections will be on the backplate of the main board?
