Last response: in Components

I have a DELL E521 pc im wanting to upgrade the video card on it. Dell put a very low power supply (305W), and gave very little room for a bigger video card. Also any other advice on upgrades for the ram/psupply would be great.

specs:
Athlon 64x2 4000+ cpu

305w psupply: http://www.pacificgeek.com/product.asp?id=95183&c=216&s... ( for details )

supports: PCI-EXPRESS X16

two gigs of ddr2 300.6 mhz

motherboard model: 0uw457 (dell)

Pc power and cooling "silencer" units are recommended for a dell upgrade. Newegg has a 500w unit with 35 amps on the 12v single rail for $49.99 after rebate. But you'll have to do some measuring for any high end card to see if it will fit the dell motherboard.
