that tells us one thing. the PSU is capable of delivering 300w across all of its rails. 

 

tells us nothing else about the PSU as its made to run exactly the system it was deliveredd with, and nothing else.

could be a OK unit, but we have not pointers to make that claim, but it can run a gtx 1050 GPU, which is only slightly less than a gtx 1650

So if I do upgrade it will be compatible with my mother board

Bequiet! System Power 9, it's a PSU that would be good for your system, usually not too expensive too.

Yes.

Yes.

I thought their were limits on power usage

Well yes, your CPU won't use all the wattage available, you could use a 1600W PSU with no harm (as long as it's a good unit).

Do you have a picture of the connectors used. Its not from dell, so i doubt they are using their proprietary connector

None that need a powerconnector, but dont get that PSU, as far as i can tell its not a very good unit at all. 

 

Especially since they consider an 80mm fan quiet

Like you understand that i said "do not get that PSU". 

 

 

Also it would be neat to have pictures of the powerconnector the mobo uses. 

 

Younare probably looking at spending a bit on the PSU, and probably picking up an rx 570 instead.
