Hi,

I have just bought a HP 280 G2 MT Desktop with Win 7 Pro. The specs are core i3 6100,8GB RAM. Can I add a discrete graphics card like gtx 1050 in the fututre? Do I also have to upgrade the PSU?

HI.

 

This is proably the best card, as it usually shuts off the PCI-E bus, and this is of utmost importance:
