Would this fit in a dell precision t1700 (Mini Tower)?

I'm getting mixed emotions from all sources, so I just want an answer. Would this fit? (Using this so I can upgrade the GPU to a RX570X). I wouldn't mind if it looked ugly or anything, just as long as everything works fine and the case can be closed.

 

I'm not 100% sure if the ports are correct either, but I thought they were (I thought I needed) a 6+2 for the GPU. and a 2x4 to power the motherboard (it uses a weird port lol, took me ages to find a PSU that could have any).

no it wont the mb uses a proprietary mb connector.

how much power is you psu now? and whats the cpu?

oh im not seeing any molex connectors just sata...hmm

there this i think and rx580 probly pulls about 100ish wats maybe posable to under volt it bit but i dont no...

 

im using a rx480 with molex adapter and pulls about 100ish wats (says 120w) but probably oc settings. rx580 says (185w) so probly like 150w it pulls. but just a guess

Hi, my current PSU is 290W but it doesn't have a 2x6 pin connector for my graphics card, hence I'm buying a new one. The CPU is a Intel Xeon E3-1240 V3.

ya i no i updated my message above.

cpu says is about 80w rest say 30w so 110w for the system leaves 180w left it be close.

 

mind you my rx 480 pulling 100w was with a test bench test and games wont pull as much i would think so hard to say. it probably work with that sata adapter.

Sorry I mustn't have seen the edit, my bad! So you're saying just as long as I get a SATA to 6+2 pin it should work fine?

its be close but i think it should work. i would try it. but get the sata adapter that has 2 satas to one 6+2 pin and i would put one sata on one cable and the other on the other cable not on the same cable.

I mean... Would it most likely work? The RX570 was given a PSU recommendation of 500w and I think the just under 300w wouldn't make the cut, but in all fairness I don't have any RGB or much else, but would it be more safe buying another PSU or simply going for your idea?

I am highly against any sort of adapters for power.. Especially Sata to 6+2/8 pin or Molex power adapters.

Its just not recommended at all.

Okay, I was a bit sceptical about it anyway, so would the linked PSU work with my PC?

Maybe.

The precision T1700's use a proprietary power supply and adapters so you would need a motherboard 24pin to 8pin adapter.

How reliable this is, I do not know.

 

I must also warn you against the VIDA Black 650W... Its shit. If you want to burn your house down, go for it.

I understand that you are on a very tight budget, I just can't recommend anything that is potentially dangerous.

Dell is pretty weird for making such an unnecessary decision, causing my searches to be a lot harder for consumers, sadly.

On another note, the specifications say the PSU comes with the following:

Would these be okay for the setup? (Specifically the 4+4 pin for the motherboard and the PCIE 6+2 for the RX570, and the SATA for the SSDs.)

 

As for the VIDA black being sketchy, I have only seen reviews say it's okay, nothing particularly special, but I did only look at Amazon/eBay listings, and the budget really doesn't stretch that far, so I took a ponder at this. Sorry for pestering you, and sorry for the late response, I just haven't built a computer before and this is all particularly new to me. ^^

They do it so you would have to re-buy components from them instead of from other companies.

Many OEM's do this.  Its shit for the consumer but makes them money.

 

The 4+4Pin is CPU power and not motherboard power like thr 24pin.

The PCIE 6+2 is enough for the RX570.  Some RX570 models use more than a single 6+2 ( 8 ) Pin.

 

Its properly sketch. I wouldn't even dare plug that thing in a socket in my house.  Nope

You wouldn't want to plug that PSU in and it taking your entire system with it... Thats going to cost you a lot more money than spending a bit more for an okay PSU.

 

Your are not pestering me at all, you ask questions because you are curious and want to learn   This is good!.

I am not an expert on Dell OEM machines. That being said, I do know a thing or two about computers in general.

Alright, I'll see what I can do, thank you a lot for the help!

 

P.S. Totally optional, but what PSU do you think could be a safer option? (Preferably budget but it doesn't have to be as lowball as these), again, tysm for the help. ^^

Try posting on the Dell Forums for some help regarding adapters to make an ATX PSU work.

Or read through some posts, its very common for people to upgrade these machines so there should be plenty of forums threads about it  

 

The most budget PSU we recommend is the MSI A550BN.  Its reliable and comes with a 5 year warranty.

This is the 'most budget' PSU I can recommend that is safe.
