A 180w GPU should have at least a 500w PSU. EVGA BR 500w PSU is a good one.
I take it you already have the 24-pin to 8-pin adapter needed to plug in the MB?

Yes, I have the adaptor for the motherboard. It seems to not post when the display port is plugged into the GPU.

A 380w PSU is not enough for a 180w GPU. Adding GPU wattage + CPU wattage doesn't mean everything is accounted for.
If you compare PSU labels with the Antec and the Dell original PSU, chances are the Antec has less power on the 3.3v/5v rails than the OEM Dell.
Often an aftermarket PSU can boast more power, but skimp on the 3.3v/5v rails.
Having an adapter doesn't mean things will automatically work.
Try a better PSU as suggested. You can always tell us if it still doesn't work.
