HP Recommended
Product: Omen 880-144
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello! 

 

I have a HP Omen 880-144NO, from 2018. It has i7-8700K 3.70 GHz CPU (6 cores). 16 GB ram and RTX 1070 GPU, i think..

 

I have never done any PC building/upgrading before. I have only inserted an extra SSD and HDD, thats it. But I want to upgrade to RTX 3080, which means i also have to upgrade the PSU, which is only 500W. As far as i've understood, this shouldn't be a problem, just replacing the power cables with the new ones. The only thing that could go wrong is if it doesn't physically fit to attach, I think? I've looked at new PSUs (probably want 850W), and they look pretty simialr in size. But if anyone knows that my PSU is some custom size that can't be easily changed, please let me know. 

 

Similarly, if all goes well with the PSU, I am guessing the only thing that could go wrong the the GPU is the size as well? The RTX 3080 is bigger, and I'm not entirely sure if it will fit. There is also some kinda "bracket" that holds my current GPU in place (by the power input), I guess. Is this possible to remove? Otherwise I'm not sure I can get a 3080 in here? And if i do need to remove it... How will the 3080 be held in place..? 

 

Adding a picture below 🙂 Any and all tips and advices are appreciated 🙂
