It is not a gaming machine  but i heard i can upgrade.

i saw some threads on several websites that were posted by people who put GTX1050 on the mother board of HP280G2. I heard the only problem was that if i want to put a new psu the screw holes will not line up.That is the only problem.

Solution?

I saw a video of a man who made new holes.

Done!

so will i face any problems other that? this is my question

Thanks in advance

@53626June,

Apparently you have answered your own questions by mmodifying the chassis to accept the PSU.

@53626June,

The front I/O header (where the power button wires plug into the motherboard) are non-standard. That means you will not have an easy time converting the wires,
