Upgrading graphics card and memory

[thedarkside1819]

hello, 

so i am just trying to figure out what graphics card i can upgrade, without having to upgrade the 400 psu. 

my graphics card is a AMD Radeon RX vega 11 / radeon RX 550.

also wanted to know if i could upgrade the memory to 16g instead of the 8.

sorry if this is a dumb question, i am new to upgrading my own PC. 

thank you for the help ahead of time.

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (5.92 GB usable)
Device ID 20973A07-E708-4620-BDD8-BDF3B19EBA75
Product ID 00325-81359-88222-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

@thedarkside1819,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

Your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-00xx as fitted with the Sunflower motherboard (SSID: 8433), can be upgraded with up to 2x16GB of DDR4 PC4-21300, 2666 MHz, Non-ECC, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM sticks.

If/when you add an 8GB RAM stick, preferably try to buy a matching (same brand and model) RAM stick for best RAM performance.

Your PC is compatible with the following processors: Ryzen 3 2200G, Ryzen 5 2400G, Ryzen 7 2700 and even a Ryzen 7 2700X, as can be seen here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/47849253.

With a 400-watt power supply, probably the best graphics card upgrade option at this moment in time would be a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 model, powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this affordably-priced purchase option via Amazon: Amazon.com: PNY GeForce RTX™ 4060 8GB Verto™ Dual Fan Graphics Card DLSS 3 (128-bit, PCIe 4.0, GDDR6....

Kind Regards,

My Victus has a 340w PSU and I am running a 5600G with a triple fan RX 7600. Also a couple RGB fans, dual fan CPU cooler, 2 1TB HDD storage drives. Did a lot of work getting the card in there, but all I did was undervolt the 7600 and I'm using around 200-220w at 1440p. I could technically throw in a 5700G and let the card run full bore, I'm going to leave the GPU as is though to contain heat (or rather create less of it)
