Is this your computer: HP Desktop - M01-F0033w Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

 

If so, why are you thinking about an upgrade to the power-supply?

 

HP Recommended

yes that is precisely it.

Well basically I'm trying to make this an office and gaming computer and I have to get the psu upgraded in order to safely put in a graphics card and also possibly upgrade the cpu. I am looking to put in a low profile gpu more specifically a gtx 1660 low profile. It says that it tales 120 watts so the standard 180 is probably not sufficient.

 It says that it tales 120 watts so the standard 180 is probably not sufficient.

 

For a "gaming" computer, you should use a high-performance SSD, because it consumes less wattage than a lower-performance "spinning" disk-drive.

 

What other devices are in your computer, that might consume many of the remaining 60 watts (out of the 180) ? Motherboard? CD/DVD? Fans? Power to the USB ports?
