Hello,
I wonder if this PSU can handle an HD 5750 1Go.
I have a Dell Precision Workstation T3400 with this config:
CPU:Q6600 @2.4 Ghz
RAM:3Go DDR2
GPU:Quadro FX 570 (which i want replace )
HDD:250Gb

For more info about this PSU:

(Sorry 4 my bad English ^^')


Im guessing you got it for free since there are much better PSUs out there which are the same price or cheaper than this one. But anyways it should be able to handle it fine, providing that it has been used very little, and you only plan on using it for, I dont know, a year? If your going to use all the components at full load then you'll be walking a very thin line

It should be fine.
If your planning on playing some games may I suggest a 5770 (much easier to find where to buy 'em) and a COOLER MASTER Elite 460 watt power supply. This would require an additional investment but it means you'll get more performance out of it.

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!
Cooler Master Elite Power 460 W Power Supply Review
"Cooler Master Elite Power 460 W is simply an Elite Power 400 W with a new label. "

It doesn't look like the OP is wanting to spend a whole lot of money.He's using a workstation PC not a gaming PC.Just use the PSU they already have.And a 400 watt PSU is only 25 watts more than the Dell PSU.And I think the Dell PSU is even better quality.

No. Why would you? Unless you want to play at a much lower resolution. Your cpu should handle fine
