Hello , New here .
I have a dell OptiPlex 5040 ; I want to transfer it into a larger tower to upgrade the GPU . My question is , can I give my MOBO too much power ? I have a 650W PSU I want to put on it . Im upgrading the case to fit the GPU which is a GTX750TI-2GD5 . Any and all help with this venture would be greatly appreciated !

edit I have a intel core i3-6100 @ 3.70CHz and 8gb of ram at the moment ( Not sure if that plays into all of this )
 
any power supply with enough wattage will work with any motherboard. If the motherboard only needs 150w, then it'll only take 150w. You should not run into any risk with using the 650W PSU.
