Dimension e510 video card upgrade
i have a dimension e510 and i am looking to upgrade it to a nice high end graphics card such as the 8800 gts or 8900 when it is released. i know that for this i am definitely going to need to upgrade my power supply. the only place that i have seen power supplies available is www.pcpowerandcooling.com. they have a 470 watt that is compatible. does anybody have experience with buying form this company? do you know if they are reliable and if it will work well with my computer. Also do u know if the 470 watt dell psu will be good enough for a high end graphics card. Please Help!.
if anybody knows of any other tested compatible power supplies with the e510 please tell me.
If it is important i have a pentium 4 3.4 ghz. 2 gigs of ram. 2 dvd drives. 1 250gb hard drive, the x600 se hypermemory graphics card, and the 305 watt power supply.

and you are actually wrong, bfg released a single slot 8800 gtx that is water cooled. so i can get that one and it will fit right? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143079
too bad the price is a little bit over the top.
