I have a Dell Insprion 560 and looking to see if I can use DIAMOND ATI AMD Radeon™ HD 3850 PCIE 256MB GDDR3 Video Graphics Card Bus Type: PCI Express x16 in it. Would the Power Supply need to be replaced?

I'll put it this way, there's a reason why gamers tend to build machines themselves or buy one from a company that will put it together for them. And that reason is being able to upgrade more easily. I can't recommend any particular graphics card, but I can say that any graphics card that doesn't require an extra connector and doesn't have a fan attached to it will probably be ok.

wow - thanks for the quick response. I'm a newbie here and also with PC. I understand this is an older card, would it be worthwhile to use it in this workstation (replacing the power supply) or would a newer card make more sense ? I plan on playing games like Team Fortress 2. I am new to gaming too.
