Hi all,Ive got a Dell Inspiron 580 comp,Intel Core I5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 GHz with a standard 300 watt P/S. Im trying to figure out which Graphics card I need to play Witcher 2. Currently Ive got a weak nVidia GeForce GT 200 card and it just barely works.many of the cards Ive looked at require at least a 400 watt P/S. My problem is Ive heard you cant really replace ps's on a dell cause of the nonstandard components they use. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanx.
 
the issue with the upgrade would also be the case you are using, and can it fit a new gpu and psu. I run a 570, and it runs witcher 2 generally in the 48-60fps range on ultra with ubersampling off. If you need a cheaper gpu, then the 560Ti is good as well, or the ATI 6950 is also in that price range, especially cause you will need to buy a new psu as well.
before i start suggestions on what components you would need, i would like to know your budget, as well as full system specs pls
