Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if the Sapphire R9 280x would work with the Dell 560? I'm planning on upgrading my PSU to EVGA 600B.

Thank you! I will be getting the 750ti. Thanks again!

Ok so good news,

since you have a PCI-E 2.0 slot, there won't be much of a drop in performance that I thought there might be with the 1.0

The 750ti can basically run in mostly all old builds because of it's low power demand. It's a nice thing to know as many people like you try to keep their computers as long as they can. (try to pass it on ;)  )

Enjoy your new GPU :)

Ok, so it looks like I'm gonna get the geforce gtx 750 ti. So I won't need to get upgrades for my dell if I get that? Also, Thanks for the help! Super fast response =)

If you can afford it, I would choose this one XFX 550w $49

It is good quality and you can actually reuse it again when you get a new computer in 1-3 years.

If you can't afford that, take the Antec VP450 I linked before, but you probably won't be reusing it in a new build. Right now the EVGA 500w and CX500 are $44 so they aren't worth it.

Please, just give us some time to check lol, You have a microATX case, so I'm not sure if you can just take some HDD drives out or not.
