ive seen this baby that im gonna get http://www.connect3d.com/products/pcie_x1900gt.htm its £150 quid
what you think?
i need to get a new power supply for this. how easy is it to fit a new one?
You want the good or bad news?
Good news, fitting a PSU is a piece of cake, unplug it all, unscrew 4 screws, take it out, screw in new one, plug everything back in. 10 mins.
Bad new is you bought a Dell, its unlikley to have a standard ATX style PSU in it, so its unlikely to let you upgrade it. But, double check first, i'm not familiar with the 5000's.

infact, looking at the picture here:

makes me think it won't be simple, if possbile.
You may be looking at buying a whole new case, then of course we don't even know if your motherboard has standard atx mounting holes :(
