Hi everyone,

I'm trying to assist a family member with upgrading the GPU on this build. It currently has a Geforce 1650 in it which has an 8-pin power connector, the card I've suggested he upgrades to has a 16-pin.

Could anyone tell me anything about the PSU in this machine? Model number, wattage, and/or available GPU power pin connections? I'm mainly wondering if I need to tell him to upgrade the PSU or if there's an extra 8 pin buried under the shroud.

He lives a bit away from me and I'm not confident in suggesting he opens the PC himself to check.

Thanks!

None of us on here work for PCS, so have no way of checking what is in your relative’s PC.

The only way to be certain, without opening the case (or looking at the model number on the back of the PSU), would be for your relative to log in to their PCS account (assuming it was bought directly from PCS) and share the build info with us…like this…

If it was bought from Currys, then he can call up PCS and register it so that he has access to his online account, which also allows you to see what upgrades are available from PCS (if he wants PCS to do the upgrade of course).

If it helps, I think I’ve found that model on the Curry’s website…

However, it doesn’t bode well, as it’s got a budget CPU, budget micro-ATX motherboard (only 2 RAM slots), only 8GB RAM, etc. so I’d expect it to have a budget, non-modular PSU too. But, even the budget GPUs should have more than 1 PCIe cable for GPUs…probably tucked somewhere out of the way as they’re not removable.

Looking at other posts on here regarding the same model, it seems to have a basic Corsair CV450 PSU, so you’d have to be very careful about what GPU was fitted, but the rest of the components will bottleneck a high-end GPU anyway.
