I am upgrading my xps 8700 windows 7 system. After confirming well dell the current power supply can only handle 475. Which really isnt enough to run safely on the best video cards.

My question is, how much do these powersupplys cost, and where do I purchase them from? I am not even sure the exact phrasing of them.

Also I was looking at the r9 380 for the video card, however I need a video card that can fit into a PCI Express, as this dell has no PCI slots Not sure if that matters.

I have a current wireless card that is plugged in, and video card, both can be removed. I got a 3.0 Wireless Adapter now, which is so much faster then the cheap one dell put in the 1704.
