Hp 500-000a
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there 

Looking to upgrade my HP 500-000a .

Currently standard 

Hp Joshua h51 motherboard 

I7 3770 cpu

HD 8570 gpu

300w psu

1x 8gb ddr3 1600 ram

250g ssd "I think"

1t mech HD

 

Can I get away with not changing the psu? Putting the likes of a gtx750ti? Or gt 1030? Or will I have to change psu. 

If I have to change psu what are my gpu options?

Any help please and thank you.

You don't have to change the psu if you buy a gt 1030. You may be able to get something more powerful but it depends on the room in your case for graphics cards and power requirements.
