Hi, I have a HP OMEN 870-213w

1070 gtx

i7-7700

500 psu 

16gb ram 

I was wondering if there was any possibility to upgrade the psu that I can buy online (not hp support) and a gpu like a 5060 or any other one I have a budget of $350 to spend right now just need help with that, also to see if a certain gpu needs amount of watts or if I don’t have to upgrade the psu and where I could buy these items. Please and thank you for your time

Hi @TristanJ 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Thanks for laying out your specs so clearly. With a budget of $350 and your current setup (i7-7700, GTX 1070, 500W PSU), you're in a solid position to upgrade your GPU—and possibly your PSU if needed.
