You cannot add that card without replacing the power supply with a 500w (or better) psu with extra connectors. The Precision T5500 is more suited for business use, not gaming.
Hi Mary, thanks for your prompt answer. What I figured out is that our T5500 has a 850W PSU and I found two idle power connectors (P5 and P6) which I connected to the card. --- and everything worked fine!
this thread helped me to find out - its on tomshardware.
and since the 970 only needs 150W it should be fine, or?
