That's very strongly worded. Way to start your membership here. Based on how they explained the whole clearance process to me at my local Costco, the OP's explanation sounds legit.

Upgrading the video card is pretty easy. Best guess is that the PSU can handle anything up to a Nvidia 670. On the AMD side, the Radeon 7870 should be an option from Dell.
