Hello, I have a dell optiplex 9020 and I added a new video card to work with three monitors.<br />
<br />
The video card states it requires 400w power supply. &nbsp;The video card does NOT have a power connection, it gets all of its power from the pci-e16 connection.<br />
<br />
The dell power supply in the unit is 290w and it has a P1 and P2 connector. &nbsp; The sata drives are powered through the mother board rather than directly from the power supply. &nbsp;The power supply only has two connectors, one for the mother board and the other for the cpu.<br />
<br />
I called Dell and the tech did not appear to know what to tell me when I asked which power supply I should purchase in order to support the video card. &nbsp;He essentially said the mother board does NOT recommend a power supply larger than the power supply in the unit and that if I wanted to add more monitors I should purchase dell parts.<br />
<br />
Can anyone provide advise.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
