I7 6700k On A Dell 3650

[Azndude263]

I have an old Dell 3650 with the following specs

Core i3-6100 3.7ghz
8gb DDR3 1600 (4gb and 2gb)
1TB 7200 RPM HDD

I am planning to upgrade to the following

Add a GTX 1050 TI
Core i7-6700k
16gb DDR3 1600
Add an ssd along with the current 1tb hdd

The ultimate question is will my tiny dell 240w bronze certified is enough for this job? I can't exactly upgrade the PSU because of the weird dell psu size, shape, weird connector and also the slim case won't fit a regular atx psu. I think I've seen report that with the exactly same set up except with a 6700k, this PSU. The problem is I can't find a 6700 for cheap and can only find a cheap 6700k (I know, I won't be able to overclock anyways in this tiny case).

Could someone give me some opinions? And hopefully, these new upgrades will make this old dell last for a couple more years

Buy a new case, transplant the motherboard, and get a new power supply.

That will adapt a standard ATX power supply. Not that difficult to require it manually, but this takes the guess work out of it.

I also recommend a new heatsink and fan. The one that cooled the i3 is probably not going to be adequate. Now Dell likes to use a proprietary backplate and mounting system, however, the backplate they give you presents you with threaded holes. Usually M3 thread (the fine thread PC screws), you can head over to a hardware store and buy some washers (get the size that fits the screw and one the next size up) and long m3 screws. Then you can take coolers like the Deepcool Gammaxx 300 or 400, Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212, Cryorig M9i, Cryorig H7, and a many more.

Here is one that I did with a deepcool Gammaxx 400 a few weeks ago: https://imgur.com/8Wvewcv.jpg
Re-wired an dual six-pin to 8-pin PCIe adapter for power.

I was hoping to avoid the whole getting new case and power supply because the dell motherboard is also in a weird shape

Well, you can add a motherboard to that list. Or just put your system up for sale as is and start from scratch. Certainly worth it if you are getting into building your own computers.

Only other options would be to just hook a power supply up to it and leave it hanging out the back. Or buy an SFX power supply which you could probably stuff in the corner of that case. A little doublesided tape could serve as a mounting method. (Maybe place a fan where the old power supply was to get some airflow)

I only bought that Dell because they under-priced it and it made an adequate replacement for an old i7-950. (i7-4790, 8GB of memory)
