So someone is willing to buy me an Inspiron 560 Desktop.

All I want to know really is will I be able to add a dedicated graphics card to this.

Yes and no.

You have a PCIe 16x slot, but you have a 300w PSU. You'd be looking at min. 450w of a good brand for most newer GPUs.

Mmmmmmm so pretty much, I need to upgrade the power supply.

Thanks for the help! ;o
