PSU + GC question

[caradogr]

Hi I'm looking for a little advice please on updating my graphics card in order to play Diablo III on near top settings.
I am currently running a Nvidia GeForce GT530 on a stock dell PC with an intel i7 2600 processor and 12 gigs of RAM.

I am aware that in order to update a graphics card i need a capable PSU, the PC currently has a standard dell psu as follows:

Power
DC Power Supply
Wattage 460 W
Input voltage 115/230 VAC
Input frequency 50/60 Hz
Output current 8 A/4 A

I am aware this i pretty basic and wil probably need to be updated, if i was to change the PSU would that mean i needed to change any other components aswell?

In short can someone spec me a good graphics card with a compatible PSU, ideally within the £200 price mark for both.

Thank you.

Chances are you will need to change your power supply. Cheap power supplies are often not able to provide the stable power that they state. Dell are actually one of the slightly better ones but still worth upgrading IMO. Also, very often Dell and other prebuilt manufacturers use odd sized power supplies. You need to open up your case and see whether the power supply is a standard ATX PSU, get a tape measure and size it up. Also check your case whether it is big enough to house the graphics card.
