OK, I have been putting this off for a long time, but I finally want to invest the time and money investing in upgrading my Dell Inspiron 530s (slimline) desktop.
I did some research and found that the Radeon HD 7750 was a good GPU for the price and would fit in the Inspiron 530s.
My question is whether or not my stock PSU (250w) can handle the extra power drainage.
I already have 3 gigs of ram ( 4 sticks), 2 pairs of Dell speakers connected via USB for power, and 2 SATA drives hooked up and draining power on the PSU.
So is the Radeon HD 7750 a good fit for my set up? Or do I need to find a PSU that will fit my case.
Ideally I would like to stick a better processor in there eventually, because i'm running an Intel Pentium E2140 @ 1.60Ghz at the moment.
