Want to see what my options are for upgrading my Gaming PC

[E_Series2000]

Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics max TDP of 65W

32 GB ( 2x 16 gb Micron technology 3200MHz) ram

System board 8906 SMVB

Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 w/12gb of vram Max TDP of 170W

1 TB SSD NVME

1 TB HDD

400 W HP gold PSU

By my (admittedly probably wrong) calculations the power draw should never exceed 250W

Keep in mind I am playing games at 60 fps at 1080p 

I want to upgrade my GPU to a 4060ti w/16gb of vram Max TDP 165W. Possibly a 4070 Max TDP of 200. IDK

I have found a couple GPUs on Amazon that will fit the profile of my case but I'm too scared to purchase a card, and find out I don't have the connectors or enough power to use it safely.

In short, I fully understand how to take apart and put my pc back together, I just don't know what upgrades I can make without damaging my pc. I know what I would like to do, but I understand that reality is rarely so kind. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I am aware that a 4070 will most likely struggle to fit in my PC case but apparently with some bending in places it could fit.

Hi @E_Series2000 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

The 4070 at around 10.5 inches (267 mm) might not be a good fit unless you can find a SFF card. 

The 4060 Ti at about 9.4 inches (240 mm) should work with your case.

I would measure along the PCIe x16 slot to verify.

Your PC's 400 watt power supply (PSU) limits graphics card upgrade options. You would need a six + two pin PSU connector to power either Nvidia graphics card. The 4060 Ti might work with your HP PSU. The 4070 requires a 550 watt PSU.

Your PC can be upgraded to a 500 watt PSU but I can't verify this upgrade will be enough if you can fit a 4070 in your PC's case.

I just did an Asus dual 4070 (in a Fractal case) which requires one eight pin PSU connection to power the card.
