i would go higher than 1050Ti/RX 560.
+cx 550 or something equivalent to it

cx 550watt is up to 70 euros and i also need a adapter but i found a EVGA 700w psu for 70 euros https://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-7...y-black/6346160.p?skuId=6346160&intl=nosplash

You might want to look at the Zotac GTX1050Ti 4GB Mini. That has a BTX layout and doesn't have room for a card with a 2 slot wide bracket. The MB mounts on the left side. The card will go away from the other expansion slots.

The Dell PSU can power that GPU so save your money. Those only take 95W CPUs, so a 75W GPU is no problem.
The 1050Ti 4Gb can choke with 8GB system RAM in some programs. I would get 12GB RAM in there.
The Zotac has a legacy BIOS. You will need to turn off Secure Boot, and turn on Legacy Mode in the BIOS.

I have a optiplex 980 and i want to upgrade it but i just want to make sure that things are right.

If i buy zotac geforce gtx 1050ti mini 4gb gddr5 then do i have to upgrade my psu too? Right now i have 240 watt psu. Do i have to upgrade something else too?


Heres the zotac geforce 1050ti link : https://aio.lv/en/computer-componen...-ti-mini-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-gddr5:286718

Do you have the MT (tower) or one of the smaller versions? The ASUS card you showed was full height and will only fit the MT size.
If you have the DT or SFF the answer will be much different.
I see in another post you list a 240W PSU. I don't see that listed in the manual (page8).
https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/...desktop/optiplex-980_service manual_en-us.pdf
Dell PSUs are quality parts and can power any CPU that system supports and all the slots and bays available.
The MT had a 305W PSU available or a 255W. The 305W is beastly.
let me know which specific Opti 980 you have.

What CPU?

 

[xenfur]

I5 650 3.20 ghz

 

[xenfur]

I think i have a mt

 

[tennis2]

Yeah, you're gonna want to stick with GTX10xx series for compatibility.

The 1050Ti is a decent card. A good match for your CPU. Total system draw will probably be around...150W

 

[xenfur]

But the 170 is worth?

Hello! I have a optiplex 980 mt which doesnt have alot of room because of the heatsink. I was wondering maybe buying Gt 1030 (https://www.itshop.ee/gigabyte-nvid...-ports-quantity-1-memory-clock-speed-6008-mhz ) but is my psu enough for that? rn i have a 240 watt dell psu.

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

As it's a Dell PSU, 240w will be okay for a GT 1030

 

[xenfur]

and is i5 650 and gt 1030 a good combo?
