Hi,

I am new to upgrades but currently have Product number 2CZ71EA running with two hardrives one being a 250gb SSD and a 1TB hardrive 8GB RAM and Radeon 7 450 Graphics card.

 

Can you advise options for upgrading please so that I can run games like as an example ANNO 1800 which recommend NVIDIA GeForce 970 GTX or AMD Radeon RX 480 (4 GB of VRAM, Shader Model 5.1)?

 

Am I able to use either of these cards? Is this even possible with the specs I have? Would upgrading the overall RAM from 8GB to 16GB or even 32GB be possible and beneficial?

 

Many thanks for your help and advice

@nmpcw20,

You have the HP 570-p090na with 180W PSU. The RX 480 is better, but requires 150W of power.

IMHO, you should be a Corsair CX 450W

The RAM question, 16GB ideal,  32 GB overkill.   16 GB kit     32GB kit
