I'm after a PSU that has the plugs on it that can power a PCI-E graphics card (and have all the other usual connectors).
StoryTime: My dad's machine has a nice i5 CPU but graphics is pants. I asked for a basic card on here Brookster very kindly gave me a cheap card but theres no proper Win10 drivers for it and because of that, it is infact even slower with the generic WIndows ATi drivers. So, I got a more powerful card that works but again, no Win10 drivers and is only slightly faster than on-board (yeah yeah I know, fool me once... Etc.).
I dug out a dead 9800GTX that I thought to throw in the oven just to try and after a roasting, it is now resurrected! I've also checked this time (duh), there are actually Win10 drivers for it! However, the PSU currently in the tower is just there to power what comes from the Dell factory (god forbid someone would want to upgrade a Dell product).
So just wondering if anyone here has upgraded their system and has a spare one laying about that has some PCI-E connectors on it (that look like the one in the picture below)? Power isn't too important since he won't be doing alot of hardcore gaming (unless you consider Scrabble hardcore). Just something to render HD nicely and it's quieter than the ATi card. ~400W plus would be more than sufficiant I reckon.
(The extra 2 pin connector not needed).
Thanks in advance.
