@Tron0903,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Unfortunately, your linkages failed:

Please describe what you are working with: what PC model you got, and what graphics card you are using or would like to use.  Also, what is your power supply's wattage?

Kind Regards,

@Tron0903,

OK, did you purchase the 400-watt power supply as I recommended, or do you still have your 180-watt power supply?

As mentioned, there is really not a whole lot you can do with a 180-watt power supply.

Basically, it all boils down on what your budget is/what you are willing to spend making a decent graphics card upgrade happen.

Outstanding.

What is your budget for a GPU upgrade, and I will suggest the best purchase options available.
