Wanting to upgrade gpu.

[Lagoobrius]

So, I wanna upgrade my gpu. I currently have a gtx 1660 super and want to upgrade to a 3070. I have 16 GBS of crucial  ddr4 2666 MHz CL19 CT16GDFRA266 Ram. I have a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.59 GHz. And a 400W L04618-800 Power Supply. If anyone knows all the upgrades I should have to make in order to get a 3070 running in my pc, please let me know!

@Lagoobrius,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

First of all, with a hefty 220-watt TDP, an RTX 3070 should be paired with at least a 550-watt power supply, whereas Nvidia recommends a 650-watt power supply.

The point is, the only power supply upgrade available for your PC is a 500-watt power supply with p/n: L05757-800.

Meaning, a 500-watt power supply will most likely not adequately power an RTX 3070 in your system.

My suggestion is that if you want a graphics card with a very similar graphics performance, I would strongly recommend a smaller-sized (two fan) RTX 4060 Ti model powered (160-watt TDP) by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this Amazon purchase example: amazon.com/GALAX-GeForce-1-Click-Control-Graphics/dp/B0C8JB1X43/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2AN1A5B0MVEM1&dib=ey....

You can purchase the 500-watt power supply online, such as via this trusted eBay Seller: PSU Power Supply Unit For HP PSU 500W Envy 795-0003UR Desktop- L05757-800 US | eBay.

Hope this was helpful.

So essentially I should just upgrade my gpu to a 4060 ti and that other power supply? Awesome, ty!

@Lagoobrius,

Yes, if you got the funds/budget to do this, it would very significantly upgrade your gaming possibilities!

Just one more question, does the gpu you sent fit in the case of my pc?

[NonSequitur777]

@Lagoobrius,

The smaller-sized RTX 4060 Ti and the 500-watt power supply I suggested will fit in your PC.
