You could still buy the 4870, remove it's stock heatsink and replace it with an aftermarket one - problem is, I don't know any coolers that might work with the 4870.

Just buy a cheap case for around 50$ and transfer all your parts from your Dell to it.

its not dell's falut you are trying to put in a card that it isn't designed for. you should built you own rig then you don;t have those problems, all prebuilts will have issues when you try and change things. if you must go prebuilt never the the lower end models. the xps range is fine for gaming

Is the 4850 faster than the 8800GT in every game?

It must be at least 5% faster on every game.

20-30% faster at most games.

Found benchmarks!

the 4850 is 20-60% faster than the 8800gt.

20% as minimal.
