Can I put a new graphics card and power supply in my computer.

Hey all, I have the P7-1459 comp and it is good, but i was hoping to maybe give it a gaming boost. But i havent been able to find out if it could handle what i want to do. The new Graphics card would require a 450W power supply and i dont know if this comp could handle it. Anyone know one way or another? Need some help.

Joshua, you are very welcome!
I am sorry that I misunderstood your question. I thought that you wanted to know if the computer would handle the card.
Yes, you can upgrade the power supply unit (PSU). I suggest measuring the existing PSU and comparing those measurements to the one that you choose. I like OCZ and Corsair. They will provide enthusiast quality with a reasonable price. A good video card requires clean, stable power. I recommend at least 500W; 550W to 600W would be even better. This would allow for some future upgrades. The computer only uses the amount of power needed to run the components.
I hope this helps.

Graphics card and power supply, can someone please help me?

Hello everyone so i bought the new game Dragon Age: Inquistion for my pc and the computer is only about 2 months old but the game is running slow so my graphics card isn't powerful enough and I can't figure out which graphic's card or power supply to get that will be compatible with my computer. From what i see i'm going to need both.

This motherboard supports processors with the following Integrated Graphics:

Hi,
I ran a simulator for the Dragon Age: Inquisition and the processor and memory in your HP 500-223w meet or exceed the recommended requirements. However, the video in your PC doesn't meet the recommended level even at 1024 by 768 resolution. The NVIDIA 750 would also not meet the recommended requirements even at 1024 by 768 resolution.
The power supply will need to be replaced to support a graphics card that will meet the recommended requirements.
The Corsair CX600 would be an excellent choice as it matches up the existing HP power supply dimensions. $65
The AMD R9 270 would exceed the recommeded requirements for Dragon Age: Inquisition. These are on sale from $100 and up. Do some measuring inside yiour PC. This Sapphire R9 270 model would be a good choice at $130 afer rebate

P7-1490 upgrade Graphics Card and Power Supply

I just got a GEFORCE GTX 650TI Boost graphics card. The 300 watt Power Supply on my P7-1490 can't handle it because I need a 6 pin power connector. The 1490 comes with a 300 Watt Power Supply. I need something at least 450 watts. Which upgrade will fit my box. In addition, can the Jasmine Motherboard handle the new graphics card. It does fit into the PCI Express slot.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please consider the Corsair CX500, CX500M, CX600, or CX600M power supplies for your needs. Yes, the Jasmine motherboard in your p7-1490 should be capable of handling the GTX 650 Ti. Additionally, you will need to disable "Secure Boot" and possibly enable "Legacy Support" in the BIOS before installing the GTX 650 Ti.

Upgrading Graphics card and Power supply in Dell vostro 460 mini tower

I have a dell vostro 460 with i5-2400 3.4 Ghz,12GB DDR3 RAM,350W stock PSU and msi Radeon HD 7750 gpu.I want to upgrade my GPU to Asus strix gtx 960 4GB version or maybe gtx 970 if it fits.For that i need to upgrade my PSU.So I have choosen Corsair GS 600 psu(600W),so will it fit in my mini tower.And also will a gtx 970 fit in my pc after upgrading my psu.if not then what about gtx 960 4GB variant.I am really cofused.I dont want to buy if I won't be able to use it.Pls clearify my doubts.

Plug in No post No nothing OR Plug in Post , Install Drivers, Reboot, Nothing Black Screen.There is a 6792 post thread on them not working in XPS 8700's. Any Standard EPS12v Power supply like the corsair CS750M will fit in your case.
You can test the not working theory by calling up a vendor that sells the 900 series cards and tell them you have a vostro 460 and that when you install the driver and reboot its a black screen.
Then tell them you want an RMA for a non working card and see how they dance around not giving you your money back.
The EPS12V spec 2.92 guarantees 170w combined on the 5V/3.3V rails and 20W on the 5VSB as well as 45 amps on a Single 12V rail.

You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage. Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

I just purchased Mountain Lion on the app store, put in new credit card and agreed to terms then nothing happend. How do I know if I purchased this upgrade?

I just purchased Mountain Lion on the app store, put in new credit card and agreed to terms then nothing happend. How do I know if I purchased this upgrade?

Sometimes if you make a purchase for the first time, use a new billing method (ie credit card) or the App Store terms have changed, I've noticed that you need to press the "Buy" button twice for the purchase to actually go through (ie, you press Buy, you agree to the terms, and you have to press Buy again). You won't get double-charged.
You can check if the purchase is actually downloading by looking in the Purchased tab of the App Store - the Mountain Lion installer will be there if it worked. If not, try the Buy button again.

Sorry for the long copy and paste. I read that I can upgrade the video card and power supply. But atm when I play world of warcraft at ultra settings, I tend to lag really bad in the new instances with the new cat expansion that came out. I wanted to know if I should upgrade the video card and power supply for better performance or just upgrade my whole pc tower. Fyi, I am running a Acer X243w lcd flat panel monitor if that helps too.

My brother has a high end laptop with a built in, high end gaming video card (I forget which one). He's able to run the game on full-on Ultra.
I have an integrated video card which games the game on.. 'cartoon'.. mode. It's lower then low. When someone shoots a powerful spell at me, I go into a DOS Prompt. (not really, but it's pretty bad).
Funny thing is, I can still kick my brother's butt in any PVP match he wants to set up.
But I guess his graphics are pretty....
As for which video card works best, I'd have to do some research. After that graphics update they did with CAT, it's kind of a toss up again.

Will this video card and power supply work on my computer? HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC

I have a HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC, will this video card and power supply work on my computer?
Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8379339&sku=A455-0760
Power Supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4668507&sku=C13-2511
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

It is unlikely that the power supply will fit/work in your HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop Computer. Please consider the Corsiar CX500, CX500M, CX600, and CX600M for your power supply needs. These power supplies are the same physical size as the factory unit and are known to fit and work in most HP full-sized consumer desktop computers.
There is a chance that the GTX 760 and other current generation video cards may not work in your computer. These newer cards typically require the computer to support the most current UEFI standards and many motherboards don't meet this criteria. Please know the return policy on any video card you purchase, in case it doesn't work. If the GTX 760 doesn't work, consider the GTX 650/660 Ti or equivalent AMD graphics card for your graphics card needs.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Qosmio G10 with new graphic card and pcb - Tools CD Update doesn't work

Hi everybody
I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 back from the support, because the notebook didn't work anymore. So I get it back with a new Grafic card and a new PCB. With my Notebook I get a CD which is called update Tool CD-Rom and an instruction sheet, where it says that you have to boot with this update Tool CD-Rom after you had installed the Windows with the reovery CD.
So I made it, but when I know put the update Tool CD-Rom in and I boot with it, the computer installs something but after a short while there comes a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to shut down the Notebook. So i made it but the Windows doesn't start.
Why is that so? I had everything done which was said on the instruction sheet.
Please help me

Hello
It will be interesting to find out more about this update Tool CD-Rom. Is there Toshiba label? Can you please write what is described there?

Do I need to replace video graphic card or power supply unit on hp compaq presario sr2180nx

hello all
i saw a similar post over 4 years ago, however it doesn't address my issue.
my pc started stalling when i attempt to turn it on. It wouldn't come on. Then after several tries every now and then it would come on. I was told through searching that it could be the video graphic card or the power supply. Therefore once i had the computer back on. I never shut it off. However, i could reboot and it would come on.
Now it won't come on again. So i don't know what to replace. The video graphic card or the power supply. If it is the graphic card, do i replace the one previously installed or add a new one. And if adding a new one, what is recommended to be compatible with my 300 watt supply unit? I'm lost as what route to take and how.Below are the details of my unit.
HP/Compaq Presario SR2180NX desktop PC with a P5LP-LE motherboard with an Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 950.
*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
300 watt supply.
thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

How do I put a new graphics card in my hp p6310y?

Hello. I'd like to upgrade my computer's graphics card for a better gaming experience with games such as Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. I am buying a EVGA Nvidia GeForce GT 430 Graphics Card with 1024MB DDR3 Memory and was wondering how to install it. Or if it was even compatible.
Thanks. (Sorry if it's the wrong section. I'm new here)

Hi Bzar,
The NVIDIA GTS 450 needs a 6 pin PCI-E power connector and a 400 watt power supply. The HP p6310y only has a 300 watt power supply.
A decent video card for a PC with a 300 watt power supply is the NVIDIA GT 240 512mb or 1GB with DDR5 memory. This card will not support DirectX 11 which is used in the newer games to provide improved detail.

Graphics card and power reqs

I have a quick question, as I've been reading up on PSU's lately due to an issue I'm having with my build, I have read lots of talk of graphics cards requiring lots of juice and I'm curious my card is a passive card but still a 6600GT core (I know it's not the latest and greatest) but how come it doesn't require any external power?

I had a 6600GT from leadtek , AGP version.
6600GT's have almost apx. the same power requirements (in 3D load) as a 6800GT .
For a pci-e variant around 5A of +12v in 3Dload .
A regular 6600 is quite another thing .

Looking to upgrade the video card and power supply in the K330

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade the power supply and video card in the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330 but I need to know if these parts will be accepted by the mobo.
Here's the card name (no link, don't know if theres a restriction to off site links) ASUS 2GB GDDR5 DIGI+ VRM technology Graphics Cards HD7770-2GD5
The power supply name follows: Xion High Performance 1000 Watt ATX Power Supply XON-1000P14F
Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for a good reply

Thanks for replying, I have looked into other PSU's and came up with this: XFX PRO750W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 750 Energy Star Certified Power Supply
Feedback? And main question is, will they both (video card and PSU) be compatible with the motherboard that come standard in the K330?
I don't really have a need for the front panel except the power, and backontrack buttons.
Also, the reason why I'm getting a high wattage PSU is because I might later decide to build my own PC with the upgraded parts, and put the old parts back into the K330

Video card and power supply upgrade

Hi, can i put in my hp pavilion p6-2315el an asus gtx 760 and a 600w power supply?

The card should should work provided there is enough space for it. I would recommend the Corsair CX500M and CX600M power supplies. These are modular version of Corsair power supplies known to fit in many HP desktop cases. The modular PSUs require less cabling and thefefore will provide for better air flow.
If the ASUS GTX 760 doesn't work, please see old_geekster's reply in GTX 750 Ti and HP Pavilion p6-2108p? Are they compatible for a possible solution.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
