Im not too sure sorry. Wait for MatDef to answer you.
Thermaltake and OCZ are good I think.

Just had a casual browse at newegg and found these:

But how do I know which one will fit in my comp? Sorry for my basic question - maybe there's some kind of guide somewhere?

Those psu's might not fit, since dell mobo usually has a proprietery power connector. Does anybody know if this is the case with rtgbs7k's machine? Also, what al3x said was true, though I think the ultra x connects are generally disliked. Ozc, thermaltake, Antec, Enermax, PC Power and Cooling all make good psu's.

Re: Off to buy a 7800 GT but...

ah, I see. Good advice, thanks!

I 'feel' that I will be OK with a 6800GT for now and when I've done a bit more reading, and/or live in a country where I can communicate with the salesmen, I might just upgrade PSU and card... hmmm...

Unless you guys recommend me doing something else?:)

THe 6800gt is what i would get. You wouldn't have to change anything and it will run good. Shop around for a good deal and i'm sure you could find one for cheap.

i wouldn't go change my PSU if you don't think you are up to it. You could really mess-up you nice computer.
