Product: HP Pavilion Desktop - 510-p188a
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I have a HP Pavilion Desktop - 510-p188a

and I realised that it only had a 300 W uATX aPFC internal power supply and I really want to upgrade it so that it will last longer in the future and potentially make upgrades that need a stronger power supply. I am comfortable with atleast a 500w powersupply, do you know any good ones that will fit my needs?

 

Thank you

@Chazza123, welcome to the forum.

 

You can actually use any standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  There is no limit to the amount of wattage.  If you want to future-proof your computer I suggest at least 550W; 600W would be even better.

 

Here is a good PSU that should work for you.  It is semi-modular which means that you don't have to use all of the cables.  Read all of the information provided and the Customer Reviews to see what users have to say about it.
