Upgrading Optiplex 9010 GPU
So I want to add a GTX 750TI graphics card to my Dell Optiplex 9010 DT. Do I have to upgrade the PSU or is it fine with the stock?

Absolutely it should work fine.

As for upgrading power supply in a DT - not easy. Screws and tabs would have to line up. I Googled and couldn't find a higher watt PSU for a 9010 DT. However, our PSU expert redxps630 might see this and have suggestions.
If you went with a full size PSU, it would have to sit outside of the case.

60w watt card on a 250w PSU I think is pushing it a bit.
A couple of other suggestions:
Optiplex 9010 Spec Sheet also has some suggestions. You'd have to check wattages or tdp. When I Google them things, sometimes "watts" works and sometimes "tdp."

So would something like a GT 730 work fine?
(MSI GeForce GT 730 Fermi DDR3 128-bit 2 GB DirectX 12 )
Should be around 38 watts from what I read. Don't have a big budget or want to brick my PC. Eventually I might upgrade PSU but it looks like other people with similar models have used it from what I could find.
Also thank you! Have no idea what I'm doing and needed a working PC after my laptop broke.
