Hi, so i recently bought a dell inspiron 660 and these are the specs:
-Intel Core i3
-4gb Ram
-500gb hard drive
-Windows 8
Now i want to start a bit of gaming so my budget for a graphics card is Australian $180, what graphics card would you recommend, so far im thinking of an r7 260x but im open to suggestions. When i called dell up they gave me a bad response when i asked how much watts the psu has, sometimes he'd say 300watts and other times he'd say 430watts. im not even sure 300 watts is even possible. Anyway if my pc happened to have 300watts would all these components fit without exploding or catching on fire. I checked cooler masters watt checker and it said i would be fine.
 
Solution
For a 260X should want a 450 or better, should be able to check the PSU by opening the case and looking at it, should have a label with the specs, doubt if it's a 450, thery are rather stingy with PSUs so it will be minimal for the rig, may need to buy a PSU
