I am looking to get a new graphics card like the Geforce GTX 1050TI Mini 4GB Graphics Card.

Although at the moment my PSU is a DPS-180AB-17 which is 180W.

I would like advice on which new 400-500 Watt PSU i could buy to be compatible with my PC and the Graphics card that i am wanting to buy.

I want to get at the least a 400W PSU  or more as it is more reliable than getting a 300W. 

So i would really like to maybe be given an option of which PSU you would advise me to buy.

Thank you for responding,

It's great to have you back 😉

 

I personally would suggest you to goto any local computer store and ask for a 400W or a 500W power supply unit for a uATX form factor chassis. That should fit into our computer's chassis. 🙂

Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

 

You can go for any PSU's with 500W which would be sufficient to run the graphics card but make sure to check the form factor of the chassis whether the new PSU fit's in.

 

Follow this link for the product specifications. 🙂

 

Let me know how that pans out. 🙂

I hope you have a good day ahead,

And Feel free to ask any other queries as  well,

Considering, this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help. 😉
