Hi,
Recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 990 Mini-Tower, hoping to make a decent gaming PC out of. I'm looking to add the R9 390 GPU to it. I think that I also will need to upgrade the PSU (Currently 265W) to something bigger, along with upgrading the RAM from 4 to 8GB.
The Specs for the PC will be as followed:
i7-2600 3.4 GHZ CPU
XFX Double Dissipation OC R9 390 GPU
Some PSU between 650 to 750W
Just a few questions, as I am relatively new to building PCs (Never upgraded a PSU):
1. Will any ATX PSU work? How easy/hard would the installation be?
2. When getting RAM, could I add a 4GB stick into the seperate port (the black port instead of the white one), or is it easier to just get 2 sticks of 4GB RAM?
3. After installing the PSU, do I just plug in the GPU? With my SFF I installed the GTX 750 TI into a PCI E slot with ease and only had to change a setting in the BIOS. Will the installation be easy? Will there be any problems with the R9 390 in the PC?
Thanks.
