I bought a dell, Specs:

Q6600
8800GTX
dvd-rw drive
320 sata hardrive
4GB 800MHz Ram

anyways, dell sucks, cuz they gave me a 375 Watt PSU with it, i would imagine that at stock im using about 325 of it. My question is what do u guys think the highest settings my graphics can be overclocked to? I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to oc'ing.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
 
ver is right... 375 isn't enough for that system stock; you are very likely to burn out a HD or your video card. Read this thread if you wanna give it a go anyway.
 
Dells now use standard wiring and ATX form factor supplies (unless they changed again just recently) , ask Santa for a Corsair VX-550 or the likes.
 
unless Dell added some overclocking options to it's bios, you may be out of luck.

anyways, I'd leave the PSU alone until you near your end of warranty period. then replace it.
