If it's a quality (Corsair, Cooler Master, etc) PSU you should be fine.

Prebuilt PSU? I wouldn't trust it. Grab a Corsair 550W for 50$.

not too sure whether to change PSU for now cos it will void the 1 year warranty. Should i get other card instead? any card to recommend?

Dell PSUs are tough, reliable and underrated. They give plenty of power where it's needed-the +12v rail, and the website clearly shows the GTX260 as an option, a very similar card in terms of performance and power consumption to the HD4870.
You will be fine.
No worries.
