OKAY thats my comp. um im trying to fit a Palit NE5S4500F0601 GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card



but apparently my comp isnt good enough (so the best buy guy said.) he recommended that i would need a better power supply because most 530s models come with 250w and finding a power supply to fit into the comp will cost a lot. so my question is, will it be cheaper to just buy a new decent gaming computer or to upgrade this 530s model? 'cause i can always return the graphics card.

EDIT: i have the slim tower 530s. so the power supply and graphics card space is very very limited.

You'll need to measure the power supply. This Silverstone SFX PSU 450w is 4.92" x 2.5" x 3.94"
If it fits it would be fine for that graphic card. Just make sure you measure your old power supply first. Also make sure that the GTS 450 will fit in the case, i have no measurements so i can't give a definitive answer.
