Hello guys, I've had my current PC for about 3 years and it is having a hard time keeping up with current games.
My pc is Dell XPS 8500, and i've been looking for a new graphics card for it, but I am having a hard time understanding which ones will be compatible with my PC. Please help.

Looks like you have several options. Physically it will fit a dual slot card and has a 460 watt PSU, although I don't know what PCIe connectors it has. The safest bet for an upgrade is to get a GTX 750Ti (one that doesn't require a 6 pin PCIe connector). If you need a more powerful graphics card, you could do a GTX 960/R9 370 if your PSU has the necessary PCIe connectors or else upgrade the PSU.
