Apevia 500w SFX power supply (Amazon)
This Apevia 500W SFX PSU is the reason this build works, because you need SFX sizing for the Optiplex 7040 case. It was only about $35, which is wild for an SFX unit, and it gave me enough headroom to run the 6650 XT after the Dell PSU swap.

Pros
- +SFX size fits the Optiplex 7040 Mini Tower PSU area
- +500W is enough for a serious GPU upgrade like an RX 6650 XT
- +Very cheap for an SFX power supply
Cons
- -Had to be mounted fan-up to avoid a weird clicking noise
- -Cable lengths can be tight, requiring extensions in this case
