Can I use this PSU on this Dell mobo?

so a while back I wanted to build myself a new gaming computer, but things didn’t go as planned. So I had the idea of taking the board out of my Dell Optiplex 7010 (0YXT71) and putting it in the new case. But the only problem is that the power supply is too small to fit in the case properly and doesn’t output wattage for the GPU I will use. will my standard ATX power supply work on the Dell motherboard?

It should I don't think they use proprietary psu's anymore, they used to though.

Thanks! But, there are some non-standard connectors like the power button connector. Other than that the 24 pin and the 4 pin CPU connector are standard.

The power button has no play on what psu you can use. Any standard ATX psu should work fine for that.

Like i said, I planned on putting the motherboard in a new case until a get a new motherboard. And since the Optiplex is slimmer than a regular PC, the PSU wont fit in the original Optiplex case.
