PSU Upgrade for Dell Optiplex 7010

[haydenwhite400]

Hello. I just purchased a GT 740 and found that it requires extra power than the PCI-e slot provides. I have a dell Optiplex 7010 Mini Tower and am wondering what kind of power supply I need to get and how much wattage. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Can't you swap it for a gt 1030?

I agree that a different card would be better. A GTX 750, 1050 would run off of the PCIe slot, even the 1030 would be better.
In an MT you can run an aftermarket PSU. But there are much better GPUs that don't need one.
