Hello everyone,

I wanted to upgrade to a RTX series card, but I have noticed that the power supply I have is 400 Watt only, The RTX 2060 requires at least 500 Watt.

Is there a way to upgrade to 500 Watt? I have seen links to the 500 watt upgrade power supply on Youtube, but they say it's for TG01 desktops, is the PSU universal for all TG01 desktops? 

 

Additionally, I would like to upgrade my storage to 4TB. Is that possible on my desktop? I have seen videos of the desktop being opened and seeing a drive bay for a third hard drive and a power cable.

A table of possibly power supplies does not list any 500 watt substitutes.  Your L69242-800 does not show any other "X" in any other columns.

 

I assume you have gtx-1660ti.  There is only an 18% improvement from that card to RTX-2060

Your motherboard has three SATA ports.  I assume one for HDD the other for ODD leaving the 3rd one available

You will need an SATA cable and probably an enclosure to hold the drive.  I do not know what your case looks like.  If there is no available SATA power connector then you need a splitter or Y cable to extend power to the drive.  I recommend a USB3 external drive instead.  Simpler to use and does not add heat to inside of case.
