https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114012431976 DELL 0Y7WYT mobo: what graphics cards are compatible ? Im finding it really difficult finding out what graphics cards i can use for this mother board, the motherboard is out of the Dell OptiPlex 7040 mini case. This particular mother board is going in a bigger case that fit a full size graphics card in, that will have a higher wattage power supply what can i use ?

Btt

Aw yes sorry I thought I made the Google doc public It is now I noticed that the current power supply is only 240 watts, I used a calculator and I need about 500 watts to be on the safe side What kind of graphics card would you suggest ?.
