[SOLVED] Power Supply size issue.

[Tom_77]

I'am trying to find a power supply to support a gtx 970 gpu but my case is size restricted, I have the dell optiplex 5040 mini tower

Does anyone know of a power supply that is small enough to fit in this case, yet supplies enough power this is the dilemma im in.

this link may be helpful for finding the specs of my pc as i know from googling it myself there is not much information available.

It's a proprietary PSU , specific to that setup.
Not worth upgrading most pre-builts.

Dell proprietary parts. The PSU only has a 4-pin CPU power cable and an 8-pin M/B cable. Everything else comes off the M/B. There's a Youtube vid of a guy upgrading his with a 315 watt model but you really should have a bit more for GTX 970. Even with this 315 watt upgrade the biggest card I'd pair with it would be a GTX 1650. It'd be money better spent to save and build a new system. Anyways here it is-

Dell doesn't make those PC's to be upgraded/updated. They want you to run out and buy a new Dell.
