Hello. I have a dell inspiron I3847-3850BK. I recently purchased it off bestbuy.com. Im looking into upgrading the graphics card from the stock intel HD graphics 4400 card to a Radeon R9 280. In order to do this i need to upgrade my power supply to 500 watts. Im looking into buying a 600 watt though for future card upgrades. Now what I want to know is, what power supply would be sufficient enough to operate this video card and motherboard? Here's my PC specs for reference.

Specs: OS- Windows 8.1 64-bit
processor- Intel Core i3 4330 @ 3.50GHz
ram- 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
motherboard- Dell Inc. 088DT1 (CPU 1)
Graphics - HP w22 (1680x1050@59Hz)
Intel HD Graphics 4400 (Dell)
Hard drive - 931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-1CH162 (SATA)
Optical Drive - MATSHITA DVD+-RW SW830

P.S. this upgrade is for gaming.

It is $30...

$10 coupon and $20 rebate. I assume you are new to online shopping?

The r9 280 costs $160. Which is a good deal so get it.
