unless you have tons of drives you are totally fine with your Dell psu for a 7600gt.
 
how high do you think i could go if a guy has said he uses a 8600.or just how high do you think i can go
 
yeah, does anyone know if it can run a 8600 gt or gts on stock psu?
 
From all my research, I've heard Dell rates their power supplies conservatively, at least that what a lot of people say.

Anyway, I can tell you first hand that a BFG 7900GS (stock) runs in it with no problems. You can probably find out what the approximate power draw is on a few review sites. I'm not sure if X1950PRO fits, but E521/E520 obviously can't fit a 2 slot video card due to the CPU fan duct. All I have is an 2nd hard drive, other than that, it is stock.
