Product: Pavilion 550-150qe

Hi,

My nephew wants to upgrade the graphics card in his 5501150qe, and will probably have to upgrade the power supply, too.   It's a small case and the first card he bought was too large (he hasn't done this before).  He now is getting a Msi GeForce gt 740 direct x 12 4gb. Can anyone suggest a compatible power supply, and will there be cooling problems?

 

Thanks -

Here is a power supply unit (PSU) that should work for him.  The first thing to do is measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one in the link.  This will assure that the new one will fit into the space.
