I have a Dell Inspiron 570 with 4 GB of ram and a 450W power supply. My processor is a AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor 3.00 GHz. I was thinking about upgrading my graphics card, which would also require an upgrade on the power supply. Looking to be able to play games like Team Fortress 2 and modern games on around low-medium settings with full resolution. I'd like some assistance on choosing which graphics card/power supply is cheapest, while still holding up to being pretty powerful. Keeping it under 400$ I'd respect.

Thanks, any advice is helpful.

I would say keep the PSU and upgrade your mobo and CPU to A10 6800k >>>>>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113331

It seems like you are not worried about running the newest games on High or ultra settings, and this APU will do the job.

This Mobo>>>>>>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157457

and maybe grab 8gb of 1600 Mhz RAM with CAS 9 Timings or lower

Later on if you decide you want to run better games you can upgrade PSU and add a more powerful GPU and you got yourself a pretty decent gaming rig.
