Dell Power Supply Options

Forum CPU & Components : Power Supplies, Cases & Mods Dell Power Supply Options

I recently got a free graphics card that requires a 500W or greater power supply, but my Dell Precision 390 Workstation only has the retail one, which provides up to 375. I'm probably going to end up buying a new power supply to fit this card, and I need some help being pointed in the right direction. I've also heard that computers like mine require a Dell power supply due to limited compatibility. So, I just need a power supply that is:

Compatible with a Dell Precision 390 Workstation
Able to provide at least 500W
Relatively Cheap

The cost isn't a huge deal, but I would prefer it to be under $100. Thanks in advance!

You don't need a Dell power supply, pretty much any power supply will do.
If you have a Staples local to you, they are clearing out the Antec EA500 for $50.
Or order something like this

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

What GPU you bought?, and make you sure that your case and current PSU is ATX. With a 500W PSU is enough for the rig, make you sure that is from a good brand like Coolermaster, Corsair, Thermaltake, Antec, PC power and cooling or OCZ.

When you get a new PSU best to take your old one along to check that the screw holes are teh same.
Some Dell PC's use non-standard PSU's so a normal one will not phsyically fit in the case.
