I've got a Dell XPS 420 with these components:
Core 2 Duo Q6600 CPU
4 GB RAM
ATI HD 2600 XT 512 MB GPU
Dell's Standard 375 W (ugh!) PSU
Most of my PC gaming is World of Warcraft and I've been having some performance issues and serious FPS slowdowns when turning up most settings- my bottleneck right now seems to be my GPU.
I'm going to replace it with an XFX HD 5850, while replacing the PSU with a 650 watt Corsair unit.
Has anyone completed a similar upgrade? Any glaring compatibility issues I may be missing?
