Is this graphics card good for my PC power supply?
I am going to buy a ATI Radeon HD 5570 for my Dell Optiplex GX280 SFF. This graphics card uses less than 45 watts in full load. This PC has a 160 watt power supply with 9 amps in the 12V rail. It has a Pentium 4 540 HT @ 3.20GHz. It uses 84 watts and 1.25/1.4 V.. This card supposed to be the energy saving card. This card does not need extra PSU connectors. So will my PC PSU handle this card? No I cant buy a new power supply, because there is no power supply's out there in the world that will fit in this case, besides the dell ones from this model, but they are all the same.

At newegg under specifications it states a 400watt or greater power supply for that video card. I personally wouldn't chance frying my computer with that. Your computers power supply I believe has a 16amp rating on the 12 volt rail, that isn't sufficient to really run much for gaming cards.

No way in hell, also your cpu is so bad the graphics card will not be used to its full potential.
