My dad wants me to find a video card under 100 dollars for his pre-built Dell Inspiron. I would've gone with my Buddy's old GTX 9800 except it isn't certified to work with Windows 7, it's maximum bandwidth wouldn't be fully supported and worst of all my dad only has a 300 watt PSU.
I've decided on the GT 610 (He doesn't need anything amazing.)
This is mainly because:
1. The motherboard only has one leftover PCIe 2.0 expansion slot and this card's maximum bandwidth will be supported perfectly with that.
2. It's minimum PSU requirment is a 300 watt which is exactly what my dad has.
However, Although the maximum power draw is 29 watt, that still wouldn't matter because the current parts could already be using all 300 watts. Could someone please point me to where on Dell's website I can find how much wattage is left over with the current parts?
