Post subject:  Some new componants - Advise?

Hi all,
I could do with the following for my pc (yay more stuff)
- A Nvidia graphics card.
- A soundcard.
- A USB stick.

Only requirements, the gpu needs to be under £40, the Soundcard under £40 and the USB under £20 (and 8gb or over). All inc P&P.

Reasons - I need more monitor ports on pc, was looking at the 9500gt. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148183 or the 512mb vers.
Souncard.. well.. that never really came through right.. dropping it onto the corner of a wooden table didnt help... need a new one, looking at the soundblaster xfi audio one (yeah i know it aint real xfi :) )
My USB stick bit the dust after 2 years.. ah well, need a new fast large one.

Any help wuld be much appreciated,
Cheers,
Alex.

What components do you have at the moment?

For another monitor the 8400GS will do for about £25

That's what I was thinking :)

My dad has their individual 8Gb stick and says it's great.
