ASUS Essentio CM5570-AP006 - Highest power supply?

Asus - Essentio Desktop with Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor

Model: CM5570-AP006 | SKU: 9366599

I have this computer I just purchased but I need to replace the video card and power supply as a 300W card and supply ain't good for GTA IV. I'm assuming this is a Micro ATX as the board is small in size and not sure what power supply and card wattages I should get.

Any advice on this? I'm thinking a 400W or 450W but not sure what the risk is of having Geek Squad replace the two lowbies.

    To run GTA lV decently, you need mainstream graphics cards:

    And to run those cards stable all day long, you need at least the 450W power supply (>450W for the high end cards like the GTX 260 or the HD 4870).
