Hi all, I have a latte 2008 Dell T5400 workstation. Standard 875 watt power supply 2X xenon quads @ 3.0 ghz and20 gigs of ecc ddr2 @667mhz.
I wish to install a EVGA gtx 750 FTW which requires a minimum of 300 watts of power.
Will I be able to do this by
A) Ordinary means

C) Not at all.
Thanks all,

Hi Lefty
You have misunderstood the power requirements for that card.
The 300W referred to is the total power output of the PSU. The card itself only draws 80W.
