Upgrades to Dell Inspiron 545s
I have a dell inspiron 545 s (the slim one). I have recently bought diablo 3 and my video card does not support it. I wanted to upgrade the graphics card to this Which of these three would fit ? i heard the sapphire radoen would work but idk.

But idk if it would fit my slim case. Would this fit ?
And i was wondering if i would need to upgrade my power supply too because It has a minimum of 400 W but my dell only has 250 W power supply. Though some reviews says that it would work? is this true?

Your current PSU will be Ok for that card. I used to have the 530s, and those cards will fit into your system. All low profile cards are made for slim line systems.

I was going to get the HIS card for one of my slims ... it has better performance than the Powercolor due to its DDR5 memory.

It should fit and it is compatible with the power supply.
The 6670 draws all its power from the PCI Express slot, meaning that it consumes 75 watts at the most.
