Upgrading

PluralVerb · ‎07-06-2020

Hi, I have a

HP Pavilion Desktop - TP01-0145m and I’d like it to be somewhat of a decent gaming computer what should I upgrade on it for it to be decent and or a good gaming computer? And any part recommendations that are compatible with my case? Do I need to completely swap most things out and replace them with others?

@PluralVerb,

Those units all use an HP proprietary PSU. Not an ATX 24 pin setup. The only change is the graphic card, and a more powerful power supply. You would need to state an example of game play, or go here for an analysis.

Decent is relative. I wouldn't venture beyond this one.

That's about max for the PSU.

@PluralVerb,

I still refer to my question. Name a game and upgrade to exceed that potential. That is based on your computer having a AMD Ryzen 3 3200G entry level CPU chip. It is 3-7% below an I3-8100 chip.
