The broad grey wire is for IDE, you have SATA so it is not needed.

As Maynard confirms - your Hard drive is SATA.

(although your actual connections look non-standard)

 

That PSU you linked to will do the job :)

 

The inside of your case looks very dusty - it would benefit from a clean.

Use a can of compressed air ( any computer shop or Halfords ) or a soft brush.

This is best done outside - for obvious reasons.

There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

THANKS

And Once You Choose A PSU , Can You Please Also Suggest Me A Graphics Card.

Just For Movies And Call Of Duty 4..None Other Games I Play ..

I Can Run Call Of Duty With My Intregated Graphics Card..

It Lags A Bit , So You Could Get Me A Good Graphics Card

THANKS

And BTW the First PSU Dont Have The 20+4 Pin ( Dont Know What It Is )

So Im Guessing The Second One Would Be Better !!

And It Can Run For-Ever ( I mean That I will Not Have To Change It For The Next 5-8 Years :)

The Storm seems the better of the two.

 

44 Pin; 4 pin +12V; 1 x 6 pin Pci-e; 3 x SATA; 3 x 4 pin power; 1 x floppy connector

I think the "44 pin" is a miss-type and should be 24 pin as this is the standard power connection to the motherboard.

 

It has a PCIe 6 pin power connection which some video cards need.

Your system is old now.

Adding a 500 Watt PSU and a video card is not going to future-proof it.

Even with the PSU and Video Card you will find gaming limited.

 

I don't like advising people on how to spend their hard-earned cash.

I prefer you to make a decision based on information received.

 

It depends what you want to spend on a card - and many medium to high-end cards need much more than 500 Watts.

Take a look here:

click here too

 

You need to know if the card will run on 500 Watts ( most of these from eBuyer will )

You also need to know if it will fit in the space available in your case.

( I am not sure how much height you have available )

 

I still suggest that you get the PSU first and get this working before you spend more cash.
