Agreed.

Have them upgrade your video card if you're into gaming.

And than the PSU will not be powerful enough to power the new graphics card...

True. You could upgrade the the ever popular 6600GT, it's a great little budget card, then I believe you only need like a 350w PSU to support it? I would just buy one around ~450W.
