Post a pic of the specs on the side, newer Dells eliminate most of the 3.3/5V rails so most capacity is on the 12V Rails which is in your favor for GPUs. On older PSU's you'll notice that a sizable portion is dedicated to the 3.3/5V lines so that brings down the overall capacity for the 12V side hence why GPU manufacturers must inflate the numbers.
Correct, the actual average power draw is generally less than it's 170W TDP Rating.tritium4ever wrote: ↑That system will come nowhere close to using 460W, never mind 500W. You're fine as long as the PSU has the proper power connector for the video card.
This is what regular folk are reduced to these days when an RX 570 costs like $400+ thanks to mining madness
Instead of having decent cards at decent prices, ppl are better off buying something 6-7 years old...unless you like throwing out money by paying double what something should cost, just because.

"gtx 1030, gtx 1050 or gtx 1050ti, which is better for my use?"
"gtx 1050ti, is it going to be bottlenecked by my computer"
"Is my PSU good enough for my gtx 1050ti"
Seconding 960 or 970. That would be the oldest I'd go at this point if you don't want to spend more on a 1060/1070. Anything older than 900 series is completely outdated and not worth it unless you're getting it for dirt cheap
