i recently upgraded my power supply to 550 watts and now i want to update my graphics card for gaming. right now i have the stock graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 3650) and i was wondering what'd be the next best step.

Depends on what you want to pay. That 550W PSU will drive any current Radeon card (except the HD 7990 of course). I would recommend the best deal going in vidcards right now. Newegg has the Powercolor Radeon HD 7870XT 2GB for $180 - $30 mail-in-rebate. The HD 7870XT should really be called the HD 7930 because it uses the Tahiti GPU of the HD 7950 and HD 7970 (albeit a depowered one). NCIX had an even better deal a couple of weeks ago so I bought two and replaced my twin HD 4870s with them. They're phenomenal.

I have the same exact Dell and also upgraded my PSU. What card did you end up with. Was there any problem fitting it in the case?
