Help me get a PSU please

Question

I have a Dell optiplex 7050 case and I want to upgrade the psu to support the higher performance gpu I will be installing later.   The requirement is 250+ W and I have a 240 W PSU.   Is there any way to get a higher W PSU that fits in the mentioned case?     Also, can a 'MSI GTX 1050 TI' fit inside the same case?     Thank you for you help (if you do help).

You did not state which form factor you have but I am guessing the tower version correct? This forum page should help describe the problems with a PSU upgrade. However the stock PSU should be able to handle the 1050Ti. Dell has been known to under rate their power supplies. This video shows upgrading various components including the GPU but leaving the stock PSU installed.

NO PC stated at all, just&#xa0; the number that is not a PC, only a SERIES NUMBER,Dell Chis in sticky post 1, begs for this, see that? that but nobody reads it .&#xa0; sad no?why make this so hard.?MT, SFF, Microis it 1 ,2 or #3&#xa0; we wait with baited breath, pant pant........it is not #3 due to NO X16 PCI-e slot there. BIDDA, BODDA or BOOM,&#xa0; (not boom I hope)Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck&#xa0; the one on the left uses 1/2 height cards, center is MT with full size card and right , no cards PCI fit..as rule (lots)&#xa0; (posted 1000 times)has to fit (gpu card)not overload the slot as many SFF and USFF and micros do..not overload the PSU.. as most do.. or most non MT do.not make BIOS angry,&#xa0; for sure using UEFI Secure BOOT, are you ?, W10 -64bit?&#xa0; ask how to tell.not overheat the case as most small PCs love to do.dell must like you and it. (no comment ,by me as me not Dell)some dell PCs tiny have this odd duck mini-PCI GPU card, that only dell sells and hard to find.. if at all..and last (first?) W10 must like it, no OS stated but GTX series 7 up only work, now... like 710 up.

reverse osmosis ways;it is not the micro, no powerpack that large.. (in line pack like used on laptops)must be SFFMT has 360watt&#xa0; and if was you'd be looking on ebay to buy one sure...so I Guess SFF, here. that is my best guess.and you need a low profile card that does not overload the SFF slot X16is seen no power slot warnings on SFF MOBO.the length of the GPU x16 slot is very very limited, if you look and use a ruler..&#xa0; did you?by seaMANS EYe , half a slot longer card, or 9 inches max, here, low profile.&#xa0; why not use&#xa0; a ruler and tell us..dell does not spec, SPACE.. (heights yes)scaling is my bag,&#xa0; (school 1965 even have the scaling ruler from then&#xa0; here.. Drafting 101)I have no PC like this nor ever will (&#xa0; they stink) but here I took the JPG and made it right sized.using socket size 3.7' (calipers)then i measured the drawing just for you , see, I can do this 12,000 miles a way, www magic.not saying I am correct but was fun trying.&#xa0; use a ruler please.
