Hi,
I recently purchased a Studio XPS desktop from dell. i7 2.66 quadcore, 6g of memory, and an ati radeon card (4400?). I wished to upgrade the graphics card to a BFG Tech GeForce GTX 260. However, the PSU that came with the desktop is rated only at 380 watts and has only one 6-pin power insert. The card requires a minimum of 500 watt psu and 2 6 pin power inserts. Should I return the pc to dell and purchase another, or simply replace the psu?
Thanks!

is this the latest XPS 435?

or

the studio XPS?

if its the 435, your PSU is fine. If it's the Studio then just grab a solid PSU off newegg.
