Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop (TG01-0xxx)

Im looking to upgrade my gpu pretty soon because im getting a new cpu (ryzen 5 5600x) and i want my gpu to fit my cpu. The issue right now is that my pc only has a 400w psu and it won't be enough to power my future gpu

Can anyone help me find a psu that fits my motherboard?

im also looking at this gpu as well

@Khronos,

 

Buy either of these graphics cards and install.  I assumed that your 400-watt power supply is equipped with one 8-pin (6+2) PCIe power cable. I would bet a Heineken (if I could) that these GPUs will work just fine!

 

Keep in touch and let us know what your experience is.

 

Kind Regards,

@Khronos,

 

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

 

Firstly, a 400-watt power supply can comfortably power an RTX 3050.

 

And your 400-watt power supply should be able to power the RTX 3060 you referenced, just like I was able to do this with a similar card with my HP ProDesk 600 G4 MT upgrade build.

 

Kind Regards,

i found exact version of the 3060 that i was looking at and i saw that it was recommended 450psu so i think ill go with the 3050 and see how that goes, you think that is a good idea?
