Long title huh? Well, long story short, I am trying to get some gaming out of this system and have run into a snag. Here are my specs...
Intel i5 750
8gb DDR3 RAM
Nividia Geforce 310
350w PSU
Anyways, I can play older games no sweat. However, I know this system can do so much better with a better PSU and graphics card. Now here's my problem. When I first got this PC, I opened it...and well... it's pretty tight in there. Honestly, i really don't want to buy the wrong size PSU/graphics card...then have to return it...and try again.
Can someone give me some pointers? What would be a good sized PSU and an equally efficient graphics card? I've been eyeing the HD 5770 and I know that needs a 450w power supply so I may shoot for that set up, but these things come in so many different shapes and sizes....I really don't want to mess this up...and the computer shop nearby sells very overpriced items, so I rather order online if I can.
Non confusing version! What PSU/Graphics cards fit inside the Dell Studio XPS 8100??
