Hey. I need some help upgrading my pre-built Dell XPS 8300. I would like to upgrade my GPU and PSU but I am not sure exactly what to get or if it will even fit. Or if these are compatible with my motherboard. I'm trying not to go TOO far over $300.00.
I was thinking about a EVGA GTX 560 ti. What the heck is the difference between these though??

And for a PSU I was looking at possibly this one.
