I have a dell 8700 ,Intell core i5-4430 CPU@ 3.00Ghz ,12 gb of ram 64bit operating system ,1 terabyte hard drive at this time a 480 watt power supply but I have a 600 watt that could be installed ultra LS 600 lifetime series atx power supply. I do not know what my mother board is .
My question is what graphics card can I get that would improve my games I have an amd radeon 7570 1gb of ram I think its ddr3.I Would like to see if I could up grade to something with 4 gb or at least 3 gb of gddr5.Thanks for reading this and any answers.

The Ultra is not a good PSU; the Dell 480W is no doubt the better unit.
What to get depends a lot on your budget, but a GTX750Ti for ~$140-$150 would do well and you wouldn't need to worry about power. If the 480W PSU has a couple of 6-pin PCIe power cables, you could find a HD7870 for around the same price. but that card runs hotter so make sure your case has enough airflow or can have another fan added to it.

Hello,

For nvidia I would recommend either the 770 or 780. I think its a 200-300 dollar difference. I have the asus 780 dc2 with i5 4670k and its awesome. Might not fit in your case though so do you measurements. Not really sure what the equivalent amd card would be...

Neither PSU would support those high-end cards, and Dell cases are pretty cramped. I think it will need to be something physically smaller.
Unless you're trying to play on multiple 1080p screens, 2GB of GDDR5 will remain sufficient.
Particularly compared to what you have, it won't take a lot of money to get a notable improvement. On the AMD side, a R7 260X or R7 265 are most similar to the GTX750Ti but use more power. Your PSU should, however, handle either of those as long as it has a single PCIe power cable.
