Product: HP Z420 Workstation

Hello!

 

So recently I have been looking at my computer and realizing that it is very slow compared to others. My PC uses the HP 1589 Motherboard which I am wondering if it is going to support my RTX 3060 and the other planned parts: 

Intel i5 14600KF 3.5 GHz 44MB

New ssd discs

New ddr5 ram 

 

I saw that the powersupply is very limited to motherboards but I figured you could buy an adapter

There is a nice case upgrade as described over at reddit.

You might consider getting an Omen or building one yourself as our upgraded expert @NonSequitur777 did here

note the genuine omen motherboard is $59 but I do not know if the z420 case is ATX
