Product: HP PAVILION 550-153na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was thinking about upgrading my 550-153na PC with a graphics card (probably this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Graphics-Cards/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti/B01M5DU49X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=...) would it work with my PC? My PC has a 2b47 1.04 motherboard with a H110 chipset. If i can get that working with my PC will i have to upgrade my PSU aswell?, and to what wattage. I had read on reddit that i could only upgrade to 300watts but was looking at a 350watt PSU but didn't know if that thing on reddit was true...?

 

Many Thanks. PLEASE REPLY!

@ADAMaim,

Here's info on the card.  It needs a 6 pin PCIE power lead. Card draws 75W.

Your existing PSU is 180W.  Just verify that the new PSU has the correct leads.

 

When asserting a problem,  a link is nice.  What PSU?  got a link?

@ADAMaim,

 

The Corsair CX450 would be my choice. Yes, the MSI 1050Ti has a 6pin PCIE power socket.

You are correct. The single fan, black case does not have the 6 pin PCIE power need.
