Xps 435t upgrade to gtx 560 ti graphics card

[cozy511]

I have a xps 435 t with 12 gigs of ram and a i 7 processor 2.7 gigs and my power supply is 475 watts. Can I upgrade to the nvidia 560 ti graphics card? If so, which one as there are several to choose from. I need to upgrade due to the new games that I would like to play. Any info regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Upgrade your power supply!

I also need to upgrade my memory as well? I thought that 12 gigs would be enough?

you don't need to upgrade memory, upgrade to a power supply that is around 600w.

you don't need to upgrade memory, upgrade to a power supply that is around 600w.

You've got a Flextronics built 32 amp psu with dual 6 pin connectors in a system that you're not going to overclock, should be no need to buy a psu for your video uograde.

Thank you for your reply. So I don't need to upgrade my power supply, I can just upgrade to the gtx 560 ti nvidia card? There are many to choose from, which one do you recommend?

Is it possible to upgrade my 1 7processor to a faster one?

Yes, you can upgrade to any i7 using socket 1366, the best option would be the i7-960 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=i7+960. Though i recommend building an entirely new system with 2nd gen i7.

I don't think a 570 or 580 will fit into the case. Can you get a ruler and measure?
