i dont think you should have any problem, just check around to see the power consuption of those graphic cards as it might be to much for that tinny power supply ;)

If your current PSU won't do the trick, take a look around the net, as if memory serves me correctly, there are plenty of places that make PSU's for HP's, Dell's, etc...

That looks like a regular sized case so therefore the PSU would prolly be a standard one, id suggest a 500W + branded PSU though u could just get away with 400 if u wana go cheap, with those GPU's u suggested

From what I read you're using those two cards for reference..?. but the 220 won't be very good for gaming if that's your goal.. A power supply with 30 or 32 amps should be fine for your hardware. Forget the watts stuff.
