What kind of PSU would the ATI need?
And what Dell would you recommend to upgrade with the ATI and PSU? I would like to get a Dell with an i7 processor.

Thanks for your help
EDIT: It looks like the only one I can find on Amazon with an i7 is the Dell XPS.

PSU's Wattage vary between GPU models, but any PSU will work with any PC.
for example:
An AMD 7970 requires at least 500watts+ whereas the

GeForce GTX 680 requires 550watts+

so any PSU of 600watts would run either of them.
as such it wold be best to find a GPU then ask for a recommended PSU if you're unsure
PSU's are relatively cheap anyways, and i'd recommend Corsair for a decent Power Supply Unit.

heres a link to Dells XPS page:
http://configure.us.dell.com/dellsto...el_id=xps-8500

this model comes with an i7 and a choice of either AMD 7770 or GT 640.
this PC, with the 7770, should run games reasonably well at med/high settings.
whats more, both AMD 7770 and 7970 require a minimum of 500watts so switching the GPU's at a later date should be somewhat straightforward.

a benchmark of the 7770 on Crysis 2 with hi-res textures.

Settings
DirectX 11
High Resolution Texture Pack
Ultra Quality settings
4x AA

this card is no slouch.

thus far i've tried to stay close to the original amount given. but if you're interested;
its worth playing around with the selections of this alienware.

Thanks for that Dell website, that was exactly what I was looking for, a computer with a good processor AND a graphics card. Most PCs I found had good processor, but a bad graphics card

So.. I'm going to have to save up $1,300. lol

But thanks for everyone's help. Right now, I think I found what I want.
