is this power supply safe to use?

[willcaldwell2]

in my current pc i have a gt 610 and a 300 watt power supply ive just upgraded to a 750ti and ive had a 500 watt power supply still in the box so i decided to get it out and install but there a small dent on the top right above all the wires coming out of the pcu the dent is very small in the corner where the factory binded it together or something like that so do you think that its a bad idea to install the psu. If it is will a 750ti run on 300 watt?

Apevia is very very poor , some of the poorest quality on the market , the other is just a standard DELL 300w.

so can i run the 750ti with the stock dell one?

As long as it doesn't need additionaL power from the PSU , the DELL should be able to run it. The DELL is the better PSU ,don't ever use or sell the Apevia.

There are only a couple on the market , you would see a 6 pin port on the card , most don't have it so you are probably fine.
