Upgrading the PSU

[kimosan19]

Hello, first time getting a computer. So here's my question: I'm planning on getting and installing a Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4gb graphic card and the 180w PSU isn't gonna be enough power. So what's a go place to look to get a 300w or higher PSU that would fit into my M01desktop. Any suggestion would be helpful, thanks

@kimosan19,

Welcome to the forum. Saved some hassles.  IMHO it would help to mention why ?  Games ?  Mention a title.

The HP M01 is a series, and the F0033w is a model number.  It was very kind of you to tell "us". That helped. This spreadsheet will explain various known series and model numbers with possible GPU cards and PSU combinations. These HP proprietary designed PSU units prohibit a 24pin ATX PSU.

WARNING: Some GTX 1050TI cards actually have a 6 pin PCIe power port.  Use Newegg to look-up the card. Only one 310W is verified to have the 6+2 plug. The 400W and 500W have the plug. Again, refer to the spreadsheet.

Thanks wb2001 for the reply, still new at this lol, the m01 I got has a Ryen 3 3200G w/radeon vega 8 graphics card and 16gb ram. I would like to upgrade the graphics card to play games like Apex, 7 Days, Diablo 3, destiny 2 and any newer games in the future. I'm still researching the cards that are compatible with the erica2 motherboard with the set up have.

@kimosan19,

Destiny 2 requires a GTX 1060. That sunk the GTX 1050Ti.  Now your in the 400W PSU level.

Cards vary in length per manufacturer, some are 9.8' to over 11".  You need to measure. Pull the power cord, and drop in piece of rigid cardboard 4.3" x 12" and start cutting 1/2 off to see what fits. Erica2 board is (11.45 x 7.99 in)
