I want to clear some things up that I saw on various places on the forum and elsewhere.

 

I know that the PSU in this thing is weak and not meant for gaming, but what is the black PCIe 16x slots MAX TDP?  I am not really getting consistent results, and this is important. Is it 75w max, like the atx standard? I cant find any consistent information on it, as it all seems to conflict. The manual mentions it being 35w max I believe, but some mentioned using 45w Quadros and even 1050ti LP's no problem. So, my question is what is the max slot power that can be given to the card, and what is the BEST card as well? The 1030 is a mediocre option, I am planning to go with a 4GB Quadro K2200 if possible, but the TDP is 68w and I don't want to push it, if its even possible. I am not bothered if the case is off. I know the slot is PCIe 3.0 at least, so these cards should work theoretically. For more information, the CPU is a i7-3770 with 14gb of ram (that was already upgraded), the regular 500gb HDD, DVD Drive, etc. I really, really do not want to blow the PSU if I can help it, and I want to ask before I buy something that may not work or not work well.
