I recently bought me the 8700. I upgraded the video card to an msi GeForce gtx 770 oc gamers edition. Its a tight fit but it does fit with no modifications. I had to upgrade the psu with a corsair enthusiast series tx650.
I have my doubts a dell 460W psu would be adequate to run a GTX 770 and if it even comes with two pci-e pins.
Well it does come with the required pcie power connectors.
Only problem is GTX 770 needs more juice then a 500W max psu.
You could probably run a GTX 760 with the stock psu.
Very little info on how long of a gpu that chassis will accept though.
Secondly I would be concerned if the XPS 8700 chassis can accommodate a gpu over 10.5" long.
I'm going with a nah based on my experience.

oh i forgot to mention this but i am going to change the case also if 500w wont work how much
If you're going to change case, get a card and a new psu, because dell's 460w won't handle a 770, and you have to put all the parts in the new case anyway, why not build yourself a pc and hand pick better quality components?
