I recently got a Dell XPS 8000 and really like it, but I would love to do a few upgrade to this system. I would appreciate it if anyone could advice me on a good Video card for this system, also I would like to put in a Blu Ray player and a TV turner. Also during this upgrade, do I need a bigger power Supply?
Thanks

350 Watts may not be enough for bigger Graphics cards + the PSU may not have the necessary connections to power them

Check the dimensions of the Graphics card to make sure that it will fit in the case.
