Hey guys, I'm upgrading a prebuilt Dell, the Dell came with a 300w PSU, so I used a PSU calculator and it says that 300w should be fine but I wanted to make sure, the specs are going to be

Intel I3-4170
GeForce GTX 1050 SSC 2gb GDDR5
2x 4gb DDR3
7.2K RPM HDD
120gb SSD

There's also a DVD R/W and two fans.
 
Solution
yah 300w should be fine. 54w cpu + 75w gpu will easily work on 300w.

many of the dell psu's are actually pretty good. i have a 375w dell running a 100w cpu and a 150w gpu. never complains at all :)
