    Question Does the GTX 1650 work with an Optiplex 7050

    I am considering getting a GTX 1650 to upgrade my dell Optiplex 7050 SFF. I am concerned about whether the PSU has enough wattage to support the graphics card ( the gtx 1650 is 75w). I also am wondering if the i7 6700 would bottleneck the graphics card. Thanks.

    Question Is my PSU dying?

    Over the past couple of years, I've been slowly adding and replacing parts in my gaming PC without ever doing a full rebuild just to keep it up to date.
