HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-3000i (4M0K0AV) Graphics Upgrade

[Grey1368]

Hi All-

I'm a bit stumped trying to find a decent graphics card upgrade for my system HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-3000i (4M0K0AV). 

I know I'll have to upgrade the power supply as well, but I'd like to know if anybody has a recommendation for a good "mid-level" graphics card.

Thanks

@Grey1368,

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

Your HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-3xxx desktop is likely fitted with an HP Reno motherboard (SSID: 89B5), and a 310-watt power supply with p/n: L10875-800 (please verify).

There are three power supply upgrades available: a 350-watt power supply with p/n: M49611-001 (may be equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power supply cable), and according to this link, a 400-watt power supply with p/n: L04618-800 (equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power supply cable), and a 500-watt power supply (equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power supply cable and one 6-pin PCIe power cable), with p/n: L05757-800:

Recommendations?  -Well, I would recommend the 500-watt power supply, and pair it with either an RTX 2060 Super, RTX 2070, or an RTX 3060.  Please take a look in eBay (second hand from a trusted Seller), Amazon (new), or Newegg (new), and whilst browsing, consider what it is worth to you to play games in excellent 1080P mode.

Kind Regards,
