I currently own a Dell XPS 8700 with a graphics card vaguely described as a Radeon HD 7500 series. It has a 3.4GHz Intel i7-4770 CPU.

I am looking to upgrade the card, hopefully under $200. I also understand that the PSU is (probably) a 460w, so that may need to upgraded as well, depending on the new card requirements.

I am having a hard time figuring out what would actually constitute an upgrade, especially since the existing card is listed in the specs so ambiguously.

Please help.

You should have no problem running the 750ti with the 460w PSU. It is the lowest power consumption card out there for its performance. I think recommended wattage is 300w for the reference card so you should be perfectly fine.

I was actually looking at the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW w/ EVGA ACX Cooler card, but I seem to be having a hard time figuring out what the PSU requirement would be. Will this run on the existing 460w without compromising other systems or should I simply upgrade to a 600w?

I had a feeling that thing was junk, doesn't seem to run anything well. I wasn't sure though, since I've been using a laptop (even for games) and this is the first time I've actually had a desktop with a graphics card in years.
