Product: Pavilion 570-p075na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi - I bought a 570-p075na from John Lewis because it seemed like a decent spec machine to start from. I swapped the 3TB HDD for a 500 GB SSD and ran some benchmarks on it - all pretty good apart from the graphics card (seems like a low end OEM card, ATI Radeon M5 RM430) which scored miserably. So can someone suggest a decent upgrade? I'm not a gamer but I do some video processing and music production. Don't need a high end card and don't really want to spend more than £100 or so. Not sure what my options are, what the mobo and PSU (and chassis) will support.

 

The link to my machine is https://www.johnlewis.com/hp-pavilion-570-p075na-desktop-pc-intel-core-i7-16gb-ram-3tb-amd-radeon-r5...

I think it's also this one http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Pavilion-570-p000-Desktop-PC-series/13823514/model/15532149/d...

 

Thanks in advance.

@W1tchseason,

Unique inquiry?  Not really.

Your present system has the r5 435 Lo-profile card, draws <30 W. 

Look inside, can  it accept a full profile card like this?  The RX 460 is only 75W.

Your PSU is only 180W, so you'll need an additional wattage , ONLY IF the RX 460 would fit.

Comparing the r5 vs RX

As your across the "pond", please do the pricing.  If you can use the RX 460,  I would suggest the Corsair CX500 PSU.
