Is this a good psu or should i stay away from it?

[DarthSmartt]

I was looking at the Evga 100-N1-0550-L1 550W N1 PSU to put in a Dell Optiplex 9010 MT. 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Evga-100-N1-0550-L1-550W-N1-Psu-Great-Choice-At-A/122758815804?epid=2069619903&hash=item1c94fee03c:g:mL0AAOSwySVZ5l1B

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-9010-MT-Intel-Core-i7-3770-3-4GHz-4GB-80GB-Win-7-Pro-1-Yr-Wty/201535142115?epid=1251097137&hash=item2eec6e38e3:g:CCgAAOSwU-pXvJVw

Im planning on adding an r9 390. Is the psu in the computer good enough? I didn't know if it was or not so i looked at the Evga one and it was good but it didn't have an 80+ rating. Will it fit in the computer and is it an ok psu?

No and no.

The PSU is bottom tier garbage and the computer uses a proprietary PSU on the motherboard.

The N1 is a really low end PSU, and it's only rated for full power at 25°C. $47 is also a terrible price for it. 

The 390 is really power hungry, so you'll want a decent PSU.

ur pc use proprietary u cant just use random atx psu..

what are you guys talking about ?

 

the back of my dell 7010 looks EXACTLY like the pictures on ebay here and there is nothing proprietary about the PSU form factor or the connectors on the motherboard ... unless i am missing something.

 

the mainboard in my 7010 has a regular 24 pin ATX and one 4 pin cpu power. i don't think this one is different. we are talking about the full mATX tower, not the low profile stuff (wich do seem to have proprietary mainboard connectors)

Hey wait wait guys i googled it and here's the link

go to the psu removal guide and u'll find this it does use 24-pin or maybe dell just use random optiplex line up for the pic.

again that's a 9010 not 7010

Long story: You should do your reaserch because your wrong.

[DarthSmartt]

If I know if I can put another PSU into the 9010, I'll be set.

As long as it uses a 24-pin then yes. That said, for a hot and power hungry AMD GPU that likely won’t even fit in your case you’re going to want a high quality unit. At the very least, get a Corsair CX550/M. If you don’t have the money to buy that unit for a very cheap <$50 then you don’t have the money for a 390.

[DarthSmartt]

Ok. I’m doing this theoretically just to see if I could build a pc under $600 that will match the Scorpio.

Do you know if a standard psu will fit in the slot?

If it's an ATX PSU then it will.

 

Really though, it would be more cost-effective to get a new case and motherboard and not have to deal with all the stupid proprietary connections.
