Compatibility with Edoras motherboard

[PCinSEMO]

Hey, my brother has the omen prebuilt gaming computer with the i7 9700  and 1660 ti, and he was wanting to upgrade his GPU, I know that I will also need to get him a new power supply as his current one is not going to be powerful enough for a 3060. I just didn’t know if there would be a bottle neck with the system, or if I would have any problems upgrading his CPU, PSU, and RAM. (I also know that his ram is only good with DDR4 2666 ram. I was going to get him just an additional 16 GBs) I would appreciate any and all help!

@PCinSEMO,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

An HP Edoras motherboard (SSID: 84FD), as you can see here: HP Desktop PCs - motherboard specifications, Edoras | HP® Customer Support, is 24-pin ATX-power enabled, meaning, you can swap out your brother's power supply -if needed- with any ATX power supply, as long as you watch its dimensions (LxWxH) for fit inside his desktop case.

Please check out his power supply.  If he got a 500-watt power supply, this would provide sufficient juice to power an RTX 3060.  If it is less than that, an ATX power supply upgrade is necessary.

An i7-9700 is a very capable gaming processor and when paired with an RTX 3060 you should have no worries about any bottlenecks on your brother's system.   Even though 2 x 8GB (1 x 16GB) of RAM should be OK, better still to pair your processor and a high(er) end graphics card with 2 x 16GB of dual rank (2Rx8) RAM, such as seen here: Timetec 32GB KIT(2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz (or 2933MHz or 2666MHz) PC4-25600 CL22 1.2V Non-ECC Unbuffered....  When it comes to RAM, use the same brand, model, and capacity for best performance.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
