I have a dell 0C2KJT Motherboard
A Intel Core i3 560 3.33GHz CPU
A 300w Power supply
And a GeForce Gt 610 graphics card

I want to upgrade to a new graphics card Power supply, But my power supply doesn't support the 6-8 pin that must graphics card have. I want to upgrade both my graphics card and power supply but i'm not sure if my motherboard can handle it.
Anything will help.

It depends on what your budget is... and whether you with to go with AMD or NVidia...

The motherboard isn't the problem... it's usually the case itself. Sometimes OEM computers have weird designs that make adding 3rd Party components difficult. If you do buy a PSU, make sure you get it from a place with a good return policy just in case you need to return it....

Here are two you can choose from:

If you order online, you will get the best prices available. I looked at the Best Buy website. The problem with going there is... their stores almost always carry the OLDER CARDS with a markup. For example, with a $150 budget, the best card inside their store would be the old/aging NVidia 750. I recommend if you went with NVidia, don't get anything below a 9-Series... and if you went with AMD don't go below an R9 2xx series card.

I hope I've been able to help you out a bit and given you good advice.

You should also be able to find decent prices on Amazon or Frys websites as well.
