@Blueranger,

 

Given your budget restraints, I would suggest this Low Profile (low power) RTX 3050 graphics card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 OC: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories, which could be yours for just €180.58.

 

Since this is a low-power 70-watt TDP card, chances are that even your underwhelming 180-watt power supply could power it. However, if you are getting PSU shutdowns, reduce the power target of the GPU using Tweak III, MSI Afterburner or similar.

 

Kind Regards,

@Blueranger,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Please be more specific by providing your exact model, such as: HP Pavilion 570-p555ng.

@Blueranger,

 

OK, please check the wattage of your power supply -likely to be 180-watt.  Report back.

 

Your PC is likely fitted with the Lubin motherboard (SSID: 82F2).  This motherboard is 24-pin ATX-power enabled -meaning, you could upgrade your power supply as to fit/power a nice(er) graphics card.

 

Anyway, you mentioned that you want to upgrade your graphics card.  What graphics card would that be?

 

Point is, there is not a whole lot you can do with a 180-watt power supply.  If you want to upgrade your graphics card, you'll have to upgrade your power supply first.  Even a 500-watt ATX power supply would open up lots of GPU options.

 

Kind Regards,
