I need help find what PSU I need to install into my Inspiron 3847 i5, just acquired a free gtx 1650 graphics card but I am not sure which power supply I need. Any help would be very much appreciated, Thanks in advance

Minimum recommendations are based on EPS12v 80 percent PFC spec.
The combined watts on the 3.3v/5v rails is at least 150W.
Thats why EVGA 750B1
110-B1-0750-VR
is fine but B2 B3 BQ G2 W1 N1 versions from the same vendor is not ok.
EVGA 700BR is fine as is the 700B1
More than that won't hurt but its not necessary because you can only have 1 short video card.
Huge 12 inch long cards with 3 fans will not fit into the 3847

Lots of threads about this exact topic, eg here and here.
Appears the Dell OEM power supply is 300W. What's the minimum recommended PSU size for the card you want to use?
