HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I want to know if I can swap out the GPU and Graphics card on my desktop. This is what I'm working with... 2021 Newest HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop Computer, AMD 6-Core Ryzen 5 3500 Processor(Beat i5-9400, Upto 4.1GHz), GeForce GTX 1650 Super 4 GB, 8GB RAM, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD... and I want to swap the GPU for a Intel i7-10750H 6-Core and the graphics card for NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti.

 

That's all the information I have currently, and I'm just trying to figure out if I'd be able to make this swap before I buy the desktop. 

 

Thanks for any help!

You cannot replace an AMD Ryzon with any Intel CPU.  The sockets are different

 

An upgrade from 1650 to 1660Ti will have a %172 improvement as shown here (scroll to find the 1660ti)

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1650.c3366

 

But the 1660ti requires a 300 watt power supply AND NEEDS AN 8pin power connector. 

Your power supply may  not have that.  What model system?  Please post the Product ID (not serial number)

Do you have an unused power cable with this connector:
