Is my power supply good enough?

Hello, guys. I currently have a ''decent'' computer, which I use for media , budget gaming, etc.

I'm not sure of how much W's my PSU has but these are my specs. I ask this question because I'm
looking to upgrade my integrated CPU graphics to a GT 1030 and maybe pop in 2 gigs of RAM.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz 45 °C
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
6.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz (7-7-7-20)
Dell Inc. 0J3C2F (CPU 1)
DELL P1911 (1440x900@60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics (Dell)
465GB Hitachi HDS721050CLA660 ATA Device (SATA) 36 °C
PLDS DVD-ROM DH-16D6S ATA Device
Realtek High Definition Audio

Well that's the good thing about the GT 1030, it doesn't really matter what power supply you have. But I'm sure there are exceptions.

Check to see for a sticker on the side of your power supply. There should be some numbers or at least a model name. You will want to find out how many Amps (A) are on the +12V rail. So either looks for those specs on the sticker or tell us the model name and number.
