Inspiron 3470, PSU and GPU upgrades
I got my Inspiron 3470 Small Form Factor few months ago. I currently want to upgrade it with an external low-profile graphics card. But it shall not be done because of very low default PSU (200W).
On the other hand, my 3470 motherboard requires 6-pin ATX for general system and 4-pin ATX for Intel CPU.
I have an idea that I will purchase a Basic ATX power supply (e.g Seasonic’s one) with “24-pin to 6-pin adapter cable” (being sold everywhere) to run my motherboard.
Will it work ? Have you tried that way ? Your response is highly appreciated.

I have not seen the Seasonic model but be sure it will fit your small form case. Is it similar to this one offered at Amazon?

How did that turn out? Looking to do the same with mine. If it did work, mind sharing the products used?
