Hello, I recently purchased a DELL GX270 SLIM and have a question.
First i want to post the stats.
I bought a 1GB ram upgrade, so it will be 2gb of ram
Intel P4 3.2GHz CPU
1GB PC2700/333MHz DDR SDRAM (Dual Channel Capable) - 4 DIMM Slots, 4GB Max.
80GB Hard Drive
CDRW/DVD Combo Drive
Integrated 96MB Video
Integrated Audio with Line In/Out/Mic
Integrated NIC
1 Half-height AGP & 2 Full-height PCI Slots
2 PS/2 Ports
8 USB Ports, 2 on the Front
1 Serial Port
1 Parallel Port
Standard 15-pin VGA Port
Power Cord
I dont know if there will be any formatting with my copy/paste.
What i want to do is upgrade the power supply and video, i wasnt able to buy until they refilled stock. What happened was, they changed the half height PCI-e into AGP

. So, im out of luck, i dont know what card to get, and i want to be set for the next few years. The computer hasnt come yet so i still have my old one (had it for 6-10 years) It is 2.4 Ghz, Nvidia Gforce 6800 (AGP), 600 watt power supply, and i not long ago upgraded my ram to 3gb hoping to fix my lagg in games. (only 1.5-2gb would work)

In the end i want to sell the current system and upgrade my new one's graphics and probably power supply. That is my question, what card and power supply combo should i get?
