So i originally thought that my Dell Precision T1650 came with the 320 psu but upon further inspection it appears it is the 275watt at only 65% efficiency.

i was wondering if i could just upgrade to a normal power supply that isnt from dell (like a corsair or evga one) or is the 320 watt as high as i can go?
page 14 and 15 might help- https://www.manualslib.com/manual/624303/Dell-Precision...
 
Solution
*** ok, ok, you two, geez, take a deep breath. your so way off topic its not funny.

the Original Poster needs a good power supply without, the never ending debate about PSU teirs.
The CX500M is a solid power supply for the pre build computer he has, its been running on a 65% 270w PSu for years
All he is adding to this system is a 1050ti in it, the CX500M will be more than sufficient for his needs. Period.





What did you use finally, did it work ok? want to share your experiences?
 


Bought the corsair cx750 which did not fit in the case so had to get another case and move everything over
