Optiplex 7010 (MT?) requires an upgrade for 400W capacity.
I have a GTX 1060 with 6GB of graphics memory, but I haven't installed it yet because I just realized I need to upgrade the CPU.
I'm looking for at least a 400W power supply and one 6-pin connector to connect the card.
My current PSU is an AC275AM-00, which seems to be the standard model.
I also have an SSD drive and 56GB of RAM (three 16GB Pushkin sticks plus one 8GB stick I found in my office).
It looks like this system was used as a server room computer before it was upgraded recently.
Please see the attached photo for reference.
Help would be appreciated 🙏
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Optiplex 7010 (MT?)
The current PSU AC275AM-00 seems to be the standard in stock.
Scanning the motherboard for the OptiPlex 7010 MT reveals that the PSU connectors aren't exclusive. You can easily find any aftermarket ATX, SDFX, or SF-L PSU on the market. I suggest opting for a reliable 550W~60W unit and consider it complete.
What budget are you planning for your PSU? Where are you located? Which store do you prefer for buying?
Also, please have an SSD drive and 56 RAM (three Pushkin 16g sticks plus one 8g stick I found in my office).
To be honest, mixing RAM sticks wouldn't be ideal. A pre-assembled kit would save time, especially if this is intended for a gaming rig.
Struggled with attaching the picture but understood the main point.
Budget is kept as tight as possible (being a dad in this economy!) I'm currently in Alabama, Birmingham. I've noticed some PSUs online offering around $40 if you have a 6 pin lmk, especially since I'm new to building and worried about fitting into the PSU "slot."
