Hey there, I'm not very experienced with PC's, and I was wondering if the Dell XPS 8500 would be able to handle the AMD 6870. According to HWCompare, the 6870 consumes 150W at full load, the i5-3550p (in the machine) takes around 100W at full load, the Dell has a 460W processor. I know according to the math, it should work fine, but i'm just double checking. Also, another important question, will a dual card slot such as the 6870 fit in the Dell XPS 8600 as it only has one PCI 16x slot. Thank you for taking your time in reading this, a few addition bits of info: The XPS 8500 has 2 sticks of DDR3 RAM, built in wireless, bluetooth and a card reader, and 10 USB's, 4 of which are 3.0's.
