Go to SolutionOPTIPLEX 3050 MT
- So I have this optiplex 3050 MT and I was wondering if I could upgrade the PSU without burning any video cards along the way since the standard 250W power supply can't power more then GTX 1650 Super or a GT 1030. In terms of ram should I get the standard DDR4 2666Mhz or I need to get special memory?

Yes, a 24 to 6 pin adapter would work too with standard 24/4 pin ATX psu.

And If I get a branded PSU like a seasonic and use and adaptor would that solve the issue or its unclear? I know the PSU won't fit in the case but if that solves the issue I'll take it

Re: I need to use mostly verified ram from Dell
No, you do not have to buy ram directly from Dell. You can use used Dell ram from third party on eBay. Dell 16GB DDR4 2400 Dell YXC0V which is Hynix 16GB DDR4-2400 Non-ECC UDIMM Memory HMA82GU6AFR8N-UH
not sure about Kingston 16gb Fury. If it is 2400Mhz, it may just work, but no guarantee without evidence.

Definitely UDIMM, Short for unbuffered (or unregistered) dual inline memory module.
you cannot use any buffered, registered, or ECC memory in Optiplex.
to be safe get 16GB DDR4 using memory maker's exact model numbers listed below.
YXC0V 16GB,DDR4,2400MHz,2RX8 =
Hynix HMA82GU6AFR8N-UH, HMA82GU6AJR8N-UH
Kingston KYXC0V-MIB, KYXC0V-MID, KYXC0V-MIE, KYXC0V-MIH
Micron MTA16ATF2G64AZ-2G3B1, MTA16ATF2G64AZ-2G3E1, MTA16ATF2G64AZ-2G3H1
Samsung M378A2K43BB1-CRC, M378A2K43BB1-CB11846

What are some good brands of RAM to go for in the long term for a little bit of gaming like WoW, World of Tanks and some browsing in general?

Since you cannot overclock RAM in Optiplex, you do not really need gaming ram that has heat spreader. the Dell oem ram made by Hynix is a great brand. Samsung and Micron also good. Kingston has mixed report.

Yes, you can upgrade to 360w PSU for Optiplex XE3. I think you want to upgrade to a higher power psu to support faster video card (video card would not be fried from weak psu; it would just shut down). The 360w psu has the same 6+4 pin white connector. In addition it has a 6 pin black PCIe connector for video card.

Re: In terms of ram should I get the standard DDR4 2666Mhz or I need to get special memory?
standard DDR4 2133 MHz / 2400 MHz based on 3050 spec
Just get standard DDR4 2400 MHz desktop memory based on Dell oem ram spec (see answer below)
