Dell 560s PCs come in a lot of flavors. Give us some specs. Processor, PSU make model, wattage, Motherboard make/model.

If that is the slimline, you will be limited to a low profile gfx card. The best they come in is the HD 7750: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

But you will need a fairly decent PSU to be able to provide enough power to the card. And if you have a weak CPU, there's no sense getting even those cards.

I don't see any information there about a PSU size, but almost any PC with a PCIe X16 slot can run an HD 7750. Maxed out, the little card only draws 4.6 amps @ +12V (55W). But it is a pretty decent gfx card for its size. And your 3.2GHZ dual core should be able to keep up with it.

What are you asking? If you want to know if you can use the GT 630, yes. I just thought you were wanting advice for a better card.

You can't use an i5-XXXX processor in your motherboard. They take different sockets. Your socket is an Intel LGA 775. The Ivory Bridge and Sandy Bridge line of i5 processors take an LGA 1155 socket.

The HD 7750 will work fine in your PC as is, yes.

The GTX 560 will depend on the wattage of your PSU and its +12V rail's rating in amps. The GTX 560 is a 150W card and will probably be too much for the stock Dell PSU.

HD 7750 vs HD 7790: http://www.hwcompare.com/14301/radeon-hd-7750-vs-radeon...

Without knowing the specs of your PSU, I'm going to assume it is a standard Dell PSU for that type of PC. So yes, anything more powerful than the HD 7750 will require a different PSU. But if you have a slimline style case, the best card you can use is the low profile HD 7750.
Example: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/produc...
Full sized cards won't fit.

You can always buy more RAM, but what type, what speed, what size will depend on the motherboard.

If your computer case is about 7" wide, then it is no doubt a full size (not slim-line) case. So you can use standard (not low-profile) gfx cards.
DDR3 SYSTEM memory is separate from GDDR5 VRAM. Yes, you can use the HD 7750 GDDR5 card in your system. In fact, it is preferable. The older GDDR3 VRAM is slow.

Since you have a full size case, there is one other card that you can consider. It too does not need an Aux 6 pin PCIe power cable from the PSU. That card is this one model (and only this one model) of the GTX 650: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX650E2GD5/
As far as I know, Asus is the only manufacturer that makes a GTX 650 that doesn't need aux power. The others all need a 6 pin cable.

Here is a comparison of the HD 7750 vs GTX 650: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/681?vs=535
