I am considering buying this PC from Dell. Now before you say, "Build your own, it's better vfm, etc, etc", I know, but I am only 13 and my mum doesn't believe that I am old enough to build my own PC. My idea is to buy a low-end Dell with moderate specs and install a semidecent GPU on it.

So, can someone tell me if it will?

What are the requirements for the HD4670? From what I've seen the HD4670 is an immensely scalable card, PSU-wise.

I know it works in a system with a 300w PS, but 255 might be pushing it, what are the rest of your specs. If you have a bunch of other power hungry components that might tip it over the scale

That is the only upgrade I am buying. The link to the PC is at the top of the page. I think it will be about ~275w PSU. Would that do it? Perhaps I could tweak the card's performance to make it run better on a smaller PSU?

nope..that is no-go.you might consider to buy a replacement for your factory default PSU,say...400W should be fine.
