Precision T1600 Upgrades?
Hi, I can get a Dell Precision T1600 for $70 from a local refurbisher, It got a Xeon E3-1225, 4GB DDR3 1333MHz ECC RAM, 320GB SATA HDD, Quadro FX 570 (256MB VRAM) & Gigabit LAN running Xubuntu 64Bit with a Windows 7 Pro key on the top of the case. What I'm wondering before I buy it is will a i5-2500K work with it with 8GB non-ECC 1600MHz RAM? I'm upgrading my main PC from the 2500K to a Ryzen 3 1200 & thinking of getting a PC to put the 2500K & 8GB DDR3 into to.
Also, Any idea what Wattage the PSU would be & would it be ATX standard or Dell specific? I'm thinking depending on PSU of replacing the Quadro FX 570 with my old Radeon HD 6970 or if the PSU isn't powerfull enough then the GTX 750 in my brothers current computer.

Hello.
I have a similar config*e3 1225. I tested with a 600W Chieftec * CHIEFTEC CFT-600-14CS power supply and it it work normally with it. I use it with an a GF 960GTX vga and it is fully optimal for mid range gaming still in 2018. So You can change the power supply for an a third party brand.
Probably the 2500K cpu is better because of the higher turbo clock speed. BTW it have higher power consumption.
