Upgrading the power supply for a Precision 3450 can be tricky, especially since it has a compact design. A flex power supply might work, but you'll need to ensure it’s compatible with both the form factor and wattage requirements of your system. Check the dimensions and the power connectors to ensure they match what’s inside your Precision 3450.
While you’re upgrading, it might also be worth considering an upgrade to your desktop memory if you're looking to boost overall performance. Adding more RAM can complement the power supply upgrade, especially if you're running resource-heavy applications!

PSU needs to be Dell OEM as listed by redxps630 due to connections and no known adapters for PSU's with normal 24-pin connection.
