what do I need to do to put a rtx 3060 in my current stock pc

[FuminMarlin197]

I have a M01-F0024 hp desktop computer with a GTX 1050ti and a 180 w psu, I want to upgrade to a rtx 3000 series graphics card, preferably an rtx 3060ti if I can find one. do you have any recommendations on other power supply upgrades that would be compatible with the case and the graphics card? Thanks

@FuminMarlin197,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Your HP Desktop - M01-F0024 (6YQ59AA) is fitted with an Erica motherboard (SSID: 8643) with a 180-watt power supply as you mentioned (p/n: L08660-800).  There is a 500-watt power supply that is compatible with your desktop, with p/n: L05757-800.  You can purchase this PSU online, such as via eBay: hp l05757-800 for sale | eBay.

The L05757-800 is equipped with two 6+2-pin PCIe power connectors and would provide sufficient juice to power an RTX 3060 Ti, especially an HP (or Dell-) branded RTX 3060 Ti, such as seen/sold via eBay: rtx 3060 ti for sale | eBay.

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
