Try using the calculators found there. It's not perfect, but should give you a good idea if you could pull it off.

Just to let you guys know with my compaq i went to upgrade my power supply the ones you can get at newegg and stuff wont fit in the case. :cry:

I ended having to buy a new case and then the motherboard was so small it didn't fit in case. :cry:

I'll let the BBB do most of the speaking for me:

And if you're interested in Canadian experience

Although me personally have never had a problem with the rebates in particular, their retail outlet had an incredible bad attitude towards customer and it was a really lousy shopping experience, coupled with a reputation like that, I feel that I'll spend a few extra dollars just to guarentee good customer service in the rare case crap hits the fan.

Standartd ATX is roughly that size.

Re: Video card

Get the Evga 7600GTKO with the revised evga fan that offers better cooling and higher clocks.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130017

I think the default core and mem speeds are 600/1580 (although Newegg has them listed as 580/1500)

I should be getting my new card tomorrow!.

*****WATCH OUT******
Dell is notorius for nonstandard proprietary equipment in their PC's! You may have to go to Dell for a new PSU, or be willing to apply new connectors or whatnot. Some older Dells even had nonstandard funky voltages that standard psu's dont supply. I am quoting from personal experiance that is several years out of date BUT unless Dell has changed their marketing practices it is very hard to update a Dell without extensive knowledge.
