RE: Upgrading my graphics card?

Well this is an OEM case so you should be careful with some things. Some years back HP would ship computers with some custom longer power supplies but I don't think dell or anyone does that anymore. The PSU is 460W which might be ok. Also the system must be very new right? It has Windows 8 and new gen graphics cards.

Edit: Nah, the 7570 is very low-end gpu so it must draw way less power. Yes if I were you I would go for a bigger power supply too. 550-600W should be just fine for even a 680.

Edit 2: Also depending on how well ventilated your system is you should choose between a blower or a oper-air style graphics card. If your system is not well ventilated go for a blower which exhausts the air from the back. Open-air are non-reference cards, maybe preoverclocked, with better cooling, more quite etc (usually)...

Reference(blower):

Custom(open-air) <-- prefer this unless the case is badly ventilated:
