Ok, So here's the deal. I have a Dell Dimension 8300 and I'm sick of it's inability t play any new games so I'm planning an upgrade. I have about 600$ to spend and I was thinking about getting a Nvidia 6800 GT, maybe a little more ram, but I don't know what else I would need to replace to make that work. My power supply if only 250 W So I think I'd need to replace that. Here are my specs, tell me if you need anything more any help would be greatly appreciated.
