Can this run on a 300 watt 2009 dell power supply? (The power supply is made by bestec :/)

It just might. Considering the fact that I bought my computer back in 2008, I would think it would work just fine with your power supply.

300 watt is the minimum requirement. It will run on this power supply but it would be better to have a bigger power supply

300 watts is insufficient for this card. I'd recommend a 500w of real power. Don't buy a cheap brand. The longevity and safety of your entire PC rests in the PSUs hand.

If it is the same as the reference design then no additional power supply is necessary, it will run off the bus as it is only 60 watts. 300W power supply should be adequate.

Yes, you can use GTX 780 on 500 watt power supply. belSpecification of my PC is below and It was been working without problem.Xeon 1230v3/GTX780(1)/SDD(1)/HDD(2)/500 watt power

Hey man, the best advice I can give is go to pcpicker dot com and "build" your computer within the website. It should tell ya if 300W is enough. :) That is what I did when building my computer!

I would not recommend a 300 watt PS with this board. It's a low end board, would advise 550w or more.

From your description I believe so. I runs perfect on mine and I don't think it is as good as yours. Just be certain that you have the slot for it. More important is the power supply the minimum is 400w. I had to get a larger one.

Yes, but I would suggest you have quality brand name power supply 550 watts or over.

I didn't look up the specs of the Dell, but it most likely will. This power supply can be a 20 or 24 pin and has both sata and ide power connectors. That makes it pretty universal.

Check out your spec's at Dell and then compare with NVidia site http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications The main thing is to be sure you computers Power supply is sufficient. This card requires a minimum of 300 Watts.

No. System Requirements says: "300 Watt or greater power supply recommended".

No. I would not recommend a 300w PSU. I have a 550w PSU with my installation.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!

It can, but you should upgrade the PSU to about 600W. See this link: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19490818

You could run this on a 150w power supply as long as it wasn't garbage. It has no external power requirements, so the most it could possibly draw is 75w. This card won't even come close to that. The recommended 350w is extreme overkill because some people have extremely low quality PSU's that come with cases.

it depends on the rest of your system but this GPU isn't a power hungry . only uses 65watts max so it do'll find on a 300 watt PUS :D

It depends on what else you are running. I have a Intel 3770k, 2 SSDs and a HDD and it runs fine with a 650 watt power supply.
