Product: HP Slim Desktop PC S01-pF2000i (4M0H6AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

looking to do gaming, but this was all that was in store at the time. I needed something that day, so I bought it randomly. I was wondering if I could replace a few things, like my graphics cards and Intel Core, with an i5 rather than an i3, to be able to run games.

@cheyenneagrif,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

Your HP Slim Desktop PC S01-pF2000i (4M0H6AV) as fitted with an Akali motherboard (SSID: 89B4) and an i3-12100 processor, can be upgraded with a 12th gen i5 processor, such as the i5-12400, or a 12th gen i7 processor, such as an i7-12700.

 

Unfortunately, there are no power supply upgrades available for your desktop.  You are stuck with an underwhelming 180-watt power supply which can power nothing more than a GT 1030.

My recommendation is to look for a PC platform with better power supply upgrade potential and thus better graphics cards upgrade options. This is totally a budget and (gaming) needs issue: how much money can you/are you willing to spend.

 

Kind Regards,
