I need more power to run graphics in the optiplex 7010. I cannot find any support online-does anyone have suggestions? Its the desktop sized tower. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately correct. Excluding their full size towers Dell uses proprietary PSUs. The only way to upgrade the PSU on that system is to buy a whole case and move the motherboard etc over to a new case.

That PSU is not enough power for any decent GPU. A case and PSU are worth it because you can always use them for your next build as well.

Any standard PSU will work.

Its the one on the right, but every person i speak with states the PSU cannot be upgraded for it, and its PSU is 240 (i believe) and thats not enough for some of the graphics cards. Any suggestions?
