I've got a Dell Optiplex 755 Desktop Small Form Factor as the family computer, and because i'm a broke student right now I don't really have the money to be buliding my own pc at the moment. But i found a potential video card; the Galaxy GT240, which is mostly because of the low power supply. I know it's expensive for what it is, but most other low profile video cards that aren't crap require in the 350-400W range.
Anyways, my two questions are;
1) My PSU is 280W, so can a video card with a minimum 300W PSU run safely? It's a family computer so i would get into pretty deep trouble if I ruined it. Therefore i'd want to be pretty sure that nothing would go wrong.
2) Are the other requirements i need to consider if i were to get this video card in terms of my PSU?
Thanks for the help
