Hey everyone,

At work I am trying to beef a Dell T1600 up as much as I can without a new PS being necessary as I have the 320W dell in house built option installed originally. I would like to add these components to the Xeon E3-1270 it has:

- QUADRO K2000 - 51W MAX TDP
- 32GB(4X8GB) 1333MHz ECC-NonBuff
- 265GB SSD (samsung, Kinston or crucial maybe?)

Does anyone think this build would require a larger PSU for sure if I wanted it to last for 2-3 years? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks Y'all

This is your PSU

24-Pin ATX Motherboard Power Connector (1)
Serial ATA (SATA) Connector (4)
4 Pin ATX +12V Power Connector (1)

Judging by connectors - it is standard ATX PSU. Here a few pictures with side panel open

So, it looks like ATX PSU will fit

Kisianik <---- This is my hero for the day and potentially week.

Thank you very much. I will get out there and get myself a gold rated or better 450-500 W PS if I decide to move up in GPU power along with the second hard drive. Any clues to how much power a 1TB 7200RPM PLUS HD requires? :)

So since I have the 325W upgraded Dell PSU, and the t1600 specs say that a maximum 75W are dedicated to the PCIe, would getting an Max TDP 81W (NVIDIA quadro K4000) card completely over stress the thing or would it actually probably work just fine? When it was purchased new, they allowed you to spec a 62W nvidia quadro 2000 which leads me to believe that the new tech in the K4000 and its low power draw versus what it has in it might not destroy the PSU too much quicker?

I know I should kick it up a notch, but I don't have the resources to dial this baby in.

If you have original power supply - it doesn't have 6 pin video card power connector, every card with TDP over 75 watt requires additional power connector (or 2 of them depending on the card), so if you know that your card has 81 watt TDP, you need new PSU.

To check approximate power consumption try this http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp it is not perfect, but it will give you the idea of what you need, I would add another 50 watt at least to the result.
You have you current machine, so check it up, it is easier for you than for me, I can do it, but it will take a lot of time figuring out all your power consuming devices.

If you need help after this, let me know.
