Should I Buy A..........

The reason i am thinking about buying one is because of...
Cant Open CCC (Catalyst Control Center)
Im tired of working with that problem, ill still work on it, but it is very hard to find it out. I stayed up almost all night last night and barely made a dent into finding it out.

If you're too lazy to read it, its just about me not able to open the CCC. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 5450.

Just some questions about it.

Should i buy it instead of a Radeon HD 5870?
Would the GTX 480 be able to work with CCC?
Does it have its own program like CCC?
Would it max any game without any lag? With high FPS?
Would it even fit into my computer (Dell Studio XPS 8100)?
Does it have dual monitor support?
Eyefinity support?
Able to overclock as easy as ATI overclocking? (Like overclocking it through CCC but overclocking through the GTX's program)
Does the graphics card even have a program like CCC?

Please answer.

Your computer's PSU is fairly weak, so upgrading to a newer video card would require a PSU upgrade as well.

You should also make sure you have enough room in your case for such a long/beefy card (the GTX 480 is like 11 inches long).

Looking at this,

with a GT 240 in it that is a shade over 6.5", I would say a new case could be a possibility too, as well as a new power supply for either of the cards asked about (the GTX 480/580 are both 10.5" long, GeForce GTX 480 ).

Wow nice find.

Yup, there's definitely not enough room there for a GTX 480.

Im sure my case is fine i guess, but how about if i got a GTX 460 instead of a 480.
Would it fit into my computer?
Specs :
Dell Studio XPS 8100
Intel Core it CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz
6 GB DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5450
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (x86)

Only way to know that is to measure the case, from the back panel to the hard drive cage.

As far as the 460 goes over the 480 for fitting, it has a better chance as it is 2¼" shorter than the 480.

P.S. And you would still need a new power supply.
