What's the make and model of the PSU?

i have a dell precision t3500 and im upgrading from a gt 730 to rx 570
and because its a premade dell i cant really find the model but the manufacturer is dell
I've tried finding out the model and all i found was that its a 525W psu

It may run it but I would replace it as a precautionary measure.

Your issue isn't in the wattage, a Rx570 will generally run on a 450w psu and the Dell OEM units aren't half bad. Your issue will be in the connectors, the psu that comes with the T3500 workstation isn't built for gaming it's built for server type motherboards, 8/6/4pin EPS connectors. None of which do you any good since the Rx570 requires either a 6pin +6pin or 6pin + 8pin pcie connector. And pcie and EPS are Not the same thing.

Wattage is fine, just no way to plug in that card.

You'll need to wait, save up some money and buy a decent 550w psu that will come with that e correct gpu/pcie power connections. A minimum of 1x 6pin and 1x 6+2pin connectors.
