I want to switch case and\or PSU and\or motherboard, to upgrade GPU... I want to use as much of the guts as possible... I bought a GPU that when I got it installed it was a black screen the fan turned on but no beeping or anything. Then when I took it out it started up normal. I assume its a plug n play GPU but its been a long time since I've been into PC building. I'm not a complete idiot but I have dabbled a little in the late 90's. Please a case that a lubin mobo fits, or a motherboard that can be easily installed into a cheap case with a 300w PSU that has the socket for the processor. Or possibly a PSU that fits in the same slot as the other PSU, although probably unlikely on that.

GPU cards have power requirements?  What card did you purchase.

The GT 1030 has been a recommended cad for those Lubin boards.

when i plug it in a fan turns on but a black screen... so i dont think the power is sufficient.

So no response... i dont understand why its so hard to get an answer on this subject. i purchased a card that in your words is supposedly compatible with this build. but when i turn it on it is just a black screen. i hear a fan but nothing else. when i take out the card it woks just fine. as i am writing this on it.
