Gaming Video Card Optiplex 755
I have a Dell Mini Tower Optiplex 755 with the factory video card and 4 GB of RAM. The Power Supply is 305 Watts supposedly. I would like to replace the existing video card with as "good" a gaming graphics card as the power supply will support, or upgrade the power supply so it can support a faster card. Where should I start this process?

I don't have a tower 755 here to look at however from memory i'm fairly sure the PSU is just a stardard size one. So any 500w PSU with 2 PCI-E connectors will suit.
You might be able to get a lower model and cheaper Graphics card that suits the 305w but most gaming graphics cards brought out in the last 2 years really need atleast 500w as a minimum.

Just take note of where the screws are placed on your current PS, and emsure they are in the same place on a new one...... Most of the dell tower stuff is generic... or used to be..... But still worth checking.
