Hello!
I’ve been wanting to play certain games such as the Spider-Man remastered for a while but I found that the desktop I have, Hp pavilion 590-p0044, does not meet the games requirements due to the graphics card. However I can’t upgrade the current graphics to a Radeon rx 580 8gb without also changing my psu. I’ve been searching for 400w psu or higher and have some I’ve been thinking off such as APEVIA SFX-AP400W Mini ITX Solution and the Coolmax I-400 400W ATX 12V V2.0 Power Supply.
Im not too sure on these and if they would even be possible so if anyone has any suggestions please inform.
Thank you!

@Porfa2 , welcome to the Community.
The motherboard in your computer is HP proprietary. It has a 4-pin power connector instead of a standard 24-pin ATX power connector. You will have to buy any PSU upgrade from HP. HP has a 400W PSU (L04618-800) that is compatible with your motherboard. There is a 500W PSU (L05757-800) that I believe should be compatible, also.
