I bought a Inspiron 530 awhile back and here are it's speccs:

Dell Inspiron 530
PROCESSOR Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB) edit
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic - English
MEMORY 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
HARD DRIVE 250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
OPTICAL DRIVE 16X DVD+/-RW Drive
VIDEO CARD Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
SOUND Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
KEYBOARD & MOUSE Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Optical USB Mouse
FLOPPY & MEDIA READER No Floppy Drive Included
MODEM & WIRELESS 56K PCI Data Fax Modem

The MB that it has is the Foxconn DG33M03

The thing is I just recently won a GeForce GTX 560 in a raffle and I know that I can't just throw this thing in because of the PSU for sure which is only 350watts.

So I was wondering would it work if I bought a new PSU that was powerful enough for the GTX 560 and everything else on the computer or if there was something else stopping me from doing this like the card not fitting with the MB or the case not having space.

Also what power supply would you recommend for this?

Thanks for any help. I hope I posted this properly

I would look for something in the 550-600 range. Some brands I trust PC Power & Cooling, Antec, Corsair, Silverstone, Seasonic, just to name a few. Don't skimp in the PSU department :)
