All,
I have a Dell E510 which I've upgrade a ton of stuff to. It's a P4 3.2Mhz / 4 GB of mem / 2x 250GB SATA HDD / Hauppauge Tuner Card / e-GeForce 7900 GT KO Video card.
The video card is something that I just added yesterday but from what I can tell the Power supply isn't pushing it enough. I would like to upgrade the power supply but have heard that Dell has a bunch of proprietary junk as far as the ATX adapter is concerned.
My question(s) to anyone that wouldn't mind helping is..."drum role"
A) Can I buy any ATX power supply for this machine? I was looking at like a 500 Watt power supply but I don't want to fry anything?
B) Is the PCI-e power cable that comes out of the power supply cable of powering my video card.
C) Do they make a PCI-e power cable extenstion? The cable that came with the video card is a PCI-e -> (2) Molex connectors.
Thank you in advance to anyone that has any input and I greatly appreciate it.
