Hi,
I have an Akali motherboard (SSID: 89B4) With a i3-12100 processor.
If I Upgrade My Processor to an i5-12400 or a 12th gen i7-12700, Would i need to Upgrade my PSU?

It is not necessary, only if you want to put a more powerful graphics card.

Thank You For the Reply. That Really Helps A lot.
Also, I Actually Do Want to Get a Graphics Card as Well For This Computer, as it didn't come with any.
If I'm Trying to get a GeForce GT 1030:

Is This Compatible, Also Would I Need a New Power Supply For this Replacement?
Is there a GPU Option Where i Wouldn't' Need to Replace the PSU?
Thanks For the Help Btw.

if you have a 180 watt power supply, yes.
You need to know how many watts the PSU has in order to offer other alternatives.
