basic online psu calculator recommends a 214 w psu to support a 30W card R7 240, i5-7500,2x8 GB DDR4, nvme ssd, no dvd
Load Wattage:164 W Recommended PSU Wattage:214 W
by extrapolation the load wattage for R5 240 (TDP=50w) is about 184W and recommended psu is 234w.
this means the system of card R5 240 and i5-7500 would consume about 180w in a typical real world scenario. a 180w psu is cutting very close. you can try it. if it works, great.

you also have the option to upgrade the 180w psu to Dell 240w psu for Optiplex 5050 tower DP/N 22M8Y. or J61WF. the 240 w and 180 w psu have same form factor and can swap easily.
