What whould be a good power supply up grade for a GTX 1080 ti graphic card

Thanks for the mention. Much appreciated. As you said, it would need a 600W PSU. It is a standard ATX PSU model, so the Corsair CX600 would be an ideal fit. The massive GTX 1080Ti is a monster, cards being 10.5-11.8 inches in length. That exceeds your motherboard. Doubtful you have extended depth beyond the board.

@FadeToBlack001,

Now your bouncing to the GTX 1080Ti. But I am pondering why your flip-flop on cards. You seriously need to state why you want to upgrade? You should also make a cardboard template the exact dimensions (height and length) and insert such along the PCIEx16 slot. There are no standards for height or length of video cards. Zotac does make a GTX 1080 Mini that might fit, but again make a cardboard template. I know it's not a "Ti" model.

Hi

Wb2001 has already suggested you purchase a smaller Nvidia 1050 because of possible chassis limitations.

The minimum recommended power supply to run a 1080 Ti is 600 watts.

Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA, and other power supplies are available which have the required supplemental PCIe connections (you need a six and an eight pin connection to the graphics card). HP uses 600 watt power supplies in some systems. You might be able to find a compatible 600 watt power supply using HP PartSurfer.

Can you fit a 1080 Ti in your PC's Micro ATX chassis?

The minimum 1080 Ti length I have seen is around 10.5 inches. I have a 1080 installed in a mid-tower chassis. This card is 11.73 inches in length.

You will have to verify the dimensions of a typical 600 watt power supply will also fit in your PC's chassis.
