Inspiron 3670, GPU upgrade, #5
I'd like to put a GPU into my pc and I'm wondering if Dell would be able to upgrade my PSU in order to do that. I believe I currently have a 290W power supply which I've read isn't good enough for the upgrade. If it's possible for Dell to do that, it'd be great. Thanks in advance for any answers or assistance. Thank you!

3670 can use optional 365w power supply and GTX 1060.
All of these models use 8 pin power supply in 290W and 365W optional.
Thats what I own. You can get a 365W power supply and a Short GTX 1050 TI or even 1060. For Non Dell video cards WILL HAVE to turn SECURE BOOT OFF. When installing an after-market graphics card into a Windows PC with UEFI secure boot enabled, the system may not boot. This is true for ANY PC not just Dell.

Just curious, what about using a Zotac GeForce GTX 1650 Super 4GB Twin Fan? It's 158.5mm long. Part number is ZT-T16510F-10L.
Thanks again.

That will likely fit because its 158mm (Super Compact 6.2-Inch card) that means its less than 8 inches long so it fits into the case.
Any NON DELL card will require SECURE BOOT to be OFF .
With upgraded power supply I do not see any other issues.
