Hello there, I got the dell with a nice 2007FP from the help of hot deals 😉 for $549 (Link). Now I had saved enough for an upgrade, around 550 bucks that will cover the tax and shipping. Here are the choice of components I wish to buy



Vid card -eVGA 256-P2-N563-AX Geforce 7900GT CO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card $274.99
PSU - OCZ ModStream OCZ45012U ATX/BTX/PCI Express/SATA 550W Power Supply 95~132Vac / 190~264Vac $79.99
RAM - pqi POWER Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - 130.99

Total: 544.08 (with the tax and shipping) then 489.08 AR on all three

what ya think guys? keep in mind though...the space inside the 5150 for the PCI-e slot is limited...it can hold at least a 7900GT/x1800xl type of cards.
 
Make sure the power supply fits though. Dell power supplies do not have the on/off switch. Dell forums have more info.

Yeah I done a lil' research on their forums. Alot of users recommend the ATX/BTX OCZ psu.
