All of Dell products use a proprietary power supply especially desktops, meaning you will have not many options to upgrade your GPU, if you want to know whether a certain GPU is capable to be run with no problem per se in your desktop, you can try go here and check its psu requirement wattage :

Hi TommyFamzy,
