Ok after Extensive research I have come to a conclusion on the GPU and the PSU I want to buy.
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5, DVI, DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort, 4-way SLI Ready Graphics
Card Graphics Cards 02G-P4-2680-KR
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KC1R3A/ref=ox_sc_a...
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MYFODI/ref=ox_sc_a...
The PC I have right now is the DELL INSPIRON 620 and no it's not the slim one
I need to know IF THE PSU AND THE GPU will fit and be compatible with the Motherboard and such.
This is the Exact PC I bought from dell > http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=f...
Please help me out? Thanks
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week
BUDGET RANGE: 680$
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (BO2, TERA, BF3, DARKSIDERS, WARZ)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: AMD Radeon HD 6450 and 300W PSU (Stock)
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Mobo 0GDG8Y using a icore i5 Sandy
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Amazon
PARTS PREFERENCES: EVGA cards and Corsair PSU but if you find something better I can consider it.
OVERCLOCKING: No Idea, just need it for gaming at max settings without lagg.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
More about : upgrading gpu psu
The PSU will fit for sure but its hard to determine if the case can fit the 680 (most should).
You need to measure the distance from the back panel to the hdd cage in the interior of the case to find that out
I would prefer getting the 7950/7970/7970ghz as they are much better bang for buck and you can fit in an SSD as well after that

Also Stickmansam. The PSU I want has to DVI one up and one below. While my Case only has one line slot and under that is the tuners. I was wondering if I can remove the tuners to make it fit?

If you want to save some money for eample to buy a different case this is the best for the price, 500w is enough

Do I use CM or Inches to measure? And the Tuner can be removed I dont use it.
As for the Card Marcopolo listed its a bit too high for me and I don't think that would fit. And the first two PSUs you listed are way over the price than what I picked out. I picked 750 because it has more room for expansion I won't have to buy a new PSU again unless it broke.

Since you have alsready decided on chipset saves us the trouble
PSU looks fine for the built you can even use a Corsair 650W that leaves you room if SLI in future.
Why not a 670FTW perfomance wise aGTX680 out of box? And Price after rebate: $379.99
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Dual-Link-DisplayPort-Graphi...
Note its also built on a full size GTX 680 PCB
Im using this now and im very pleased@1080p
you can fitem perfectly in that case
drop down the pcie mini to bottom slot
Hope this helps

^yes a nice decently OC'd 670 cab match/beat the 680
cm and inches are fine, we can always convert them
I would actually get this PSU as long as you're willing to not buy from amazon
It is of slightly better quality and slightly cheaper

If I were to get the 670 would that be 670 or the 670 FTW?
And is this the one you are talking about?

So Im going to buy this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083Y6MV6/ref=ox_sc_a...
And Im assuming it will perfectly fit in my case after I remove the tuner and my old card?
Looks like I will be saving money to get RAm as well. I have 6GB looking to upgrade to 8GB
