Skyrim is great. I played it a lot when it just came out in 2012, I bought and assemble a new PC at the time it came out

works well? no overheating? your 6600XT is probably same size as that 6600

@@alegreviews Oh yeah man, this thing runs super nicely and I've had it for 2 years now. No problems at all, just requires patience. While insalling, If I didnt think it will fit, I just remembered It will. Just take a breather and proceed after chilling out. TechNitWit made a video on a CPU cooling upgrade too. It's a fine prebuild to be honest and it's good for people like me because it gives you a lot of "first time" PC experiences like installing parts.

Glad to help, thank You for watching !

Glad to help !!!

all drivers can be found online from manufacturer

@@alegreviews I figured they would be. Thanks again for a great video!!

what does undervolting do?

@@zaquis- The lower the voltage, the lower the power loss. And so the 400 watt power supply is enough.

By what % do you think you reduced the power of Your 4070? 4070 is a beast - you may have the fastest pc of this model in the world now lol.

I believe the power is specified as a maximum of around 200 watts. For me that's around a maximum of 130 to 150 watts. For many games around 100 watts.

The 40 series could fit in?

Stock 400w power supply, no changes

No. I would probably try to reinstall Windows. Does not seem to be hardware issue

It is fairy simple just make sure you correct ram and stick correct side. I think I had a video like this

I can’t really recommend anything. Adding 8gb of ram is great and ssd as well. But if you want a new gpu - you ll probably better off changing everything. If you want to stick with this case and motherboard - you d need like 500-600 psu, i5/i7 that fits your motherboard and some radeon ( they are better performance for the buck ). Otherwise 310 psu can’t really hold better cpu/gpu

10400 consumes double the power or even more. So I wouldn’t

Mine was 400w But some come with 310w which is too low

​@@alegreviewsI just made the switch today so far running great.

What did you get?

You need to upgrade to a new bigger computer. Nothing expensive and powerful gonna fit it in and power supply needs to be more powerful. You probably have 400w. Even rx 6600/7600 or rtx 4060 is a power stretch. And even these - not all gonna fit. I d suggest to just fully upgrade to something bigger with a better power supply ideally assembling yourself for your needs - but that requires computer knowledge

Games are processed by CPU, graphics card so more powerful ones run them faster and on higher graphics settings and you better have enough RAM too. Most of games stress GPU more. So it’s better to put more money into a videocard Newer graphics cards also have new features that make everything look better by itself. Console have a stable set of CPU, GPU and RAM and get very slow in the end of their life cycle. For example I played Witcher 3 in 2015 on max settings at 70 fps. And PS4/XBox were limited at 30 fps ( which super bad for anything action ) and provided worse graphics. But to be fair if you buy xbox series s on sale for below $300 - it easily beats any PC at that price

Sold long time ago. Games gonna still be mostly bottlenecked by videocard as long as it is enough ram

Rx 550 is really old and weak now. If your power supply is 400W then rx 6600 is your limit. If it’s less then you gotta go with something slower. 6700 XT needs like 230w of power, even if you find one that physically fits in the case - you ll burn your computer with it.

It might be not, because 2060: 1) require like twice more power (and it's twice faster), it is suggested everywhere to use 500-550W power supply. 2) not sure about extra connectors it requires 3) might be too big. I had a GTX 1660 which is an older version of 2060 and it was too long to fit in the case I don't know to be honest if it will be good for this computer

@@alegreviews Hm alright, the problem is that I dont know what psu's are compatible with this prebuilt. Do you have any links or recommendations?

I don’t know either. You upgraded ram and ssd - this is great. But I m not sure about 2060. Some models will be too big physically for sure. I upgraded a few units with XFX RX 6600 which consumes less energy than rtx 2060, but is about as fast. I had to bend the case a bit to put it in and then bend it back after insertion. And I would not go with anything more powerful with this computer. If you are thinking about upgrading Videocard and power supply and probably CPU - i would suggest to just accumulate some money and get entirely new computer that has a bigger case and that will be good for future upgrades.

@@alegreviews i forgot to mention that the gtx 2060 i was planning on getting is the single fan verison

Make sure it’s not too tall. 1 fan will be good in length. But might be too tall like gtx 1660 that i tried to put

Yes. This particular model with these specs. Other variations with other specs have more or less

I would say RX 6600 - just make sure it’s not too big to physically fit in the case. There might be something coming from new gen GPUs. 4050 is too powerful. And I do not know much about Radeon 7xxx series. Theoretically they all should make something that is more powerful with same power consumption with new generation chips. That’s not always the case though.

@@alegreviewscould you send a link for the 6600?

I used this one from BestBuy, and it's already a bit too big, so I had to bend the case metal a little bit to fit in it and then bend it back in: www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-speedster-swft210-amd-radeon-rx-6600-core-8gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-gaming-graphics-card-black/6495949.p?skuId=6495949 Some other 6600 might be a better fit, but I do not know about dimensions of others, because some other models may be too long or too tall and won't fit in the case. For example I had a GTX 1660 I wanted to try, it was shorter with 1 fan only but it was too tall so I would never be able to close the case with it. See if that upgrade is worth it for You. You may as well just buy a new computer later on instead, I would always suggest with a big case 25L at least, but better 40L size.

I have not seen an older one with Ryzen 3 2200G, but it’s AM4 socket so it should be able to handle ryzen 7 5700G/5800G - I would research on forums about your motherboard to make sure. 32gb ram is great !!! If you have 325W power supppy then you need something of low power videocard, some Intel ARC. If you switch to 400W - then probably RTX 4060, if 500+ W then some radeon like rx 6700/6700xt, or rtx 3060/3060ti, 4070 ($500 videocard but consumes less power than AMD or older nvidia couterparts). If you are switching to all new parts it may make sense to get entirely new computer. It all depends on your budget. It can be $100-$150 just videocard upgrade or cpu, videocard, psu for total of $800. I m not familiar with Littleton Reddit forums can be of great help

@@alegreviews bro I seriously appreciate you for taking time to get back to me all this information was extremely helpful and I will be applying it I think what I’m probably gonna do it out the power supply to 500 W and then throwing a small graphics car like he stated seriously appreciate you again man means so much!🔥💪🏾🙏🏾

@KIDNEPHRITE with new power supply - keep in mind that the case is 15L which quiet small, so it has to be small enough to fit in and be screwed to it properly. Same with videocards: needs to be not too long and not too tall. I had a GTX 1660 that was relatively short but but too tall so the case wouldn’t close. Videocard with same graphic chip can have 1 or 2 or 3 fans. Any 3 fan videocard will be too long, and many of 2 fan ones also. But short one fan videocards are sometimes too tall. That’s an unfortunate limiting factor of small case that half the videocards won’t physically fit.

Yes. 4060 is best you can get. Anything more powerful will require to switch to a different power supply. Just make sure it physically fits in your case. Some 4060 might too tall or too long. You can size specifications sometimes. And you can measure and compare to yours

@@alegreviews thanks for the quick reply! I’ll check it out. ☺️

Здесь стоковый от HP был. Надо под свою систему по мощности брать и чтоб в кейс залез. На форумах пишут часто, на какие люди меняют

These would higher end models that are physically bigger and won’t fit in the case

I don’t think any 2070 will fit in the case, gonna be too long. And it needs too much power. Newer videocards are faster but consumes less power. This computer is not built for upgrades with small case, low power psu etc

​@@alegreviewswould a RTX 4060 work then?

Possibly ok “powerwise” but most are too big to fit in.

You needed to press it when taking out the old one. It’s purpose is to hold it in place so it does not come off. Now you gotta be more careful and not shake your computer especially when it is on

Some can fit (physically smaller ones). Keep in mind that 3050 is an updated 1650. It’s very basic.

It’s fine, it gets higher if you upgrade the GPU

@@alegreviewsyeah i am doing the same gpu ass you, have the same pc and cpu but i have 16 gb ram 2666mhz and 500gb Samsung ssd

I would not recommend that. And it will be too big for that computer. They probably say that 5700 needs 500+. I would go something newer. Newer stuff consumes less energy. You may want to swap for an SSD. It is much faster and consumes less.

@@alegreviews thank you very much for the response, the 5700 I was thinking of getting was the MSI Mech OC (refurbished) because it’s very cheap and in my budget. Will undervolting the card make it able to run on this PSU? If not what card do you recommend I should buy around the same price range. Also is there a way to upgrade the PSU without having to change my case? if you could link that PSU upgrade that would be very wonderful thanks.

@end5382 undervolting effectively makes it like a cheaper videocard. So you can just pay less for a cheaper one. I don’t really want to recommend what is not being suggested for a 400W power supply. Someone even mentioned they found 3070 that fit in it and they undervolted it. I wouldn’t overspend on it

@@alegreviews hey, will a 6600 XT work with this power supply with the other parts I mentioned I found a great deal on it.

It will probably say 500w power supply needed. 6600 xt - less power required than 5700. You can try. But I must state that I don’t advice that because. Also make sure it physically fits ( not too long or too tall ). And do not overclock cpu/gpu after that

Yes always. Also after you turn off everything - press and hold turn on button for a bit to release the “energy that got stuck there”

If you have amd - probably Ryzen 7 5800x if you don’t upgrade videocard at the same time because power supplies in these are built for power consumption of the parts they come with. And you cannot stretch it much over

Yes, that 400W was fine. As long as you also don’t decide to upgrade a CPU. By the way I upgraded with a spare SATA SSD. If switch 256 PCIe SSD to 1/2TB - it will better for power consumption but you ll have to install Windows “manually”. SSDs are cheap so go for 2TB. Biggest thing here was videocard, it was a bit big and I had to bend the case to fit it in and then unbend after installation. You gotta be careful - bigger isn’t always better)))

@@alegreviews thanks, and just to confirm you bought one?

No, it came with it

@@alegreviews ohhh alright thank you.

400W. Not much

Thank for the quick answer. Def earned a subscribe

You don’t need bios to upgrade the ram. Just stick another ddr4 8gb 3200MHz into it and that’s it. I always prefer same brand and model for both sticks. Or at least don’t get something of noname brand or other than pc 3200. On I reviewed had Samsung.

@@alegreviews tried that and I get nothing but blank screen. It's kind of perplexing.

Something is wrong then. Maybe even RAM slot on the motherboard

Use Amd master program, my ballistic ram now runs at 3200 mhz after changing with the app. My rx 6600xt runs great in the system

Do you load the system to the max? ( playing demanding games) and have no power issues with 6700XT? You have same 400W PSU there?

Is your power supply 400W?

@@alegreviewsyeah sir

Rtx 4060 will be the best. It uses less power than 3060 and more powerful.

And you need to find one that fits

Is it 65W, I thought it’s around 100W. It can be good to upgrade to R7.

Blue screen can mean many things, but something is bad with something for sure.

im about to do this upgrade i think its worth it

Make sure you do proper testing afterwards. There are many variations of desktop and videocard models. Main thing is that power supply should be powerful enough to supply enough energy to the whole system which will consume more power with more powerful videocard

I have 6600 on mine. I'm about to put a bigger psu in it (500w max for this case) and maybe try 6700 or msi 6750. Pc part picker says it will work with 500w

@TheLonni as long as you find one that will physically fit in the case. It was hard to fit 6600 in there.

not great not terrible

I did some basic benchmark in a video more dedicated towards videocard: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNaCg9eTzdO6eps.html

Was 400w, some models of it come with 325 or less

First of all those are cheap power supply. And they have to be above peak power usage. Some say at least 10%. RTX 4060 usually say on box to use 500W power supply. But they account for modern i7 with higher power usage. Keep in mind that there are many things that use the power: ram, ssd/hdd, fans, charging phone, motherboard. Everything needs some. RTX 4060 is low on consumption for its power. I would put it if it was 400W but 310 might be a bit low. I personally would not do it. I would upgrade to 500w or so before upgrading a videocard. Even if math seems right - I would not risk

@@alegreviews Casually, now, a few hours later, I see that a 400W PSU is compatible with my PC(HP Pavilion desktop gaming tg01-00xx), so I think I could change the PSU and the graphic card, upgrading to a 4060 Ti, I do more maths and my wats usage would be around 360W. Do you agree?

@mariobolano0437 all pavilions like this that I had - had 400W, some come with less, not sure if there are more powerful ones. With 400W - 4060 will be good. 4060 ti might be bottle necking your cpu. I m not sure about 4060ti. Check reddit what people say. Somebody even installed 3070ti which consumes a lot more power and had to lower its voltage. I think theoretically you should be correct. Then your videocard will be worth much more than the rest of your system unless you have a big SSD. You may also consider getting at least 16 or even 32gb of ram if You haven’t already. 8gb is way too low nawadays

@@alegreviews I have 16 GB of RAM but if I'm not bad, in a single slot, now in a while I'll have to open the computer to check the model and buy the same one to get 32 GB in dual channel, in addition I'm also thinking about buying a good SSD, because the board is supposed to have 2 holes, right? And I don't really know what maximum frequency the plate for M.2 can support. And I don't know if the 4060 Ti would make a bottleneck, the processors are always supposed to be much more advanced than the graphics

@mariobolano0437 another same stick 16gb to make 32gb = good I think only 1 m.2 ssd slot, you ll have either swap it or add a sata ssd as second one. All adds a bit of power consumption. I d go with 400w and just 4060 and you will have a solid computer 4060, 400w, 16gb, 2tb sata ssd - about $450 in upgrades Also keep in mind physical size of vodeocard as some are too long or too talk and will not fit in the case. Watch videos how people do it if you haven’t done it yourself before as you may damage parts if you do anything wrong

2060 is not that bad. Yours seem pretty balanced. I would just go for a new computer. Or if you want to get maximum out that power supply - 4060

@@alegreviews hjmm i get a lot of frame drops whenever there is a lot going on in the game with the 2060. Would i see a noticeable difference with the 4060 ?

@Gabriel-xw2zp like 30% faster. It might be better to wait and upgrade the whole computer later

@@alegreviews what about a 4060 ti?

Maybe, but nvidia suggests 550W power supply for 4060Ti. You are already stretching out with 4060. Besides - it costs a lot more And Radeons are generally faster for money but consume more power per performance. Someone even put 4070 but had to put lower speed into it to work properly. I would just buy entirely new computer when have enough money, better to assemble yourself if you can. I would put a good motherboard and power supply and go with i5 13th gen and something like rx 6700xt and in a few years upgraded to i9 14th gen and better videocard

Yes, graphic quality depend on the specs of the model. Overall these are not demanding games

@@alegreviews i got the same model in this video

You can run those. I played F4 on almost highest settings the year it came out on a weaker computer

yes, it will be fine as long as you don't upgrade CPU at the same time. I tested it. And I would not put anything more powerful than RX 6600. And actually vast majority of more powerful videocards will not fit in this small case anyway. But a Ryzen 9 + best videocard that can fit in this case + overclocking will definitely be some burning smell

@@alegreviews thank you very much, do you thing a RX 6600 XT mech 2 would be too powerful or should I stick to the RX 6600

I would stick to rx 6600. Also physical size is important. Most of videocards just won’t fit in the case. I trued MSI 1660 and was too tall, most too long. Also videocards have different modifications with different amount fans which is different size. I had to bend the case a little bit to stick this one in. It is absolutely the biggest one you can fit. And I would say the most powerful as well. Something among new generation videocards might be faster and smaller and consume less power for their speed, but I didn’t touch any of them yet. Switching from 5500 to 6600 is already a big upgrade. And you may decide to add a second ssd/hdd which will also consume power. What I would do if it was for myself: get rx 6600, add 8gb of ram to make it 16gb and add 2tb sata ssd. And that’s it. And later on if I would need a better computer I would get a different one.

@@alegreviews thank you for the help also subscribed, my computer already has 2 hdds 1tb each and 16 gbs of ram, the graphics card will be my final upgrade. I’ve had this pc for about a year or 2 and it’s been treating me well.

If you are looking to upgrade to SSD - prices really went down recently for both SATA SSD and M.2 NVME. They are much more affordable recently. When I first upgraded to SSD - I never look back. But maybe You decide to do so with a new computer. With video card - just make sure it physically fits in it, because 15L case is quiet small. Not every 6600 will fit. I assume some are bigger. New videocard will improve gaming by a lot. And CPU is still gonna be fine for now. Trust me on that. I have in one of my computers i7-3770 (top of 3rd gen i7 developed in 2012) - now it is an office computer and it still works good with 6 different browsers open at the same tjme + whatsup, viber, telegram. And just a few years ago when I used it for gaming it was still fine, it was beating ps4 pro by a lot - i could have 60-80 fps in games on max settings where ps4 pro was limiting those by 30 fps max to get some stability (witcher 3, fallout 4 to name a few).

Rx 5600 XT? 150W power consumption. I would rather go with something newer and more power efficient like 6600 or 7600 or even 4060

@@alegreviews well how much would a used 6600 be? and what would i need to upgrade my power supply too?

@@alegreviewswhat’s a good way to figure out if the gpu would fit in my case?

@woopoganntnt7379 check out reddit forums and youtube videos, see what brands amd models people tried. Keep in mind that people often put too powerful things in so everything is at risk to burn down

I installed the videocard before setting up the Windows, so once I set it up - Windows found all the drivers. Sometimes it is good to go to videocard and GPU chip manufacturer and install all drivers/programs you need manually.

@@alegreviews what happens if you don’t ? After you install the new gpu you have to install drivers? Sorry I got this as a starter pc and want to upgrade the gpu

You may just do nothing, Windows will install everything automatically. or you can do it through device manager to verify the drivers update.

If you have 400W like in the video I would say 4060 is the best, they are smaller and low power consumption. But it is not best performance per dollar spent, but might be best performance you can get for this computer

1660 super is pretty good actually. Get 16gb ram (2x8gb 3200 mhz). Or even 2x16gb if you don’t mind spending more You may want to upgrade a CPU rather than videocard. As long as you power supply is 400w or more - I think you can get like ryzen 7 5700-5800. Double check your motherboard compatibily

Yes. It should be fine to upgrade to RX 6600 or something with similar power consumption. But don’t upgrade both CPU AND GPU. Over upgrading may burn down everything.

Also a big concern a physical size of the videocard so it fits in.

Is your power supply 310W? And you have GTX 1660 Super? You cannot upgrade any further. 1660 Super is faster than like 3050. It is pretty decent for a basic computer. Your power supply won’t hold anything more powerful. You ll need to buy a new computer to have a better videocard

I dont have a videocard in my Pc, and im not sure about how many W my power supply has, but when i open up my Pc there is a small writing on some metal-block looking like thing that says: SHALL NOT EXCEED 310W. So i think it has 310W.

btw this is my new acc

@KaiWiechmann-ht1no yes, i looked specs of your model - 310W. And it should have 1660 super, probably it was removed and it uses integrated one

Where can i check that? Because my graphic performance in videogames is really bad.

There is a big bay there designed for 3.5 HDD above RAM and cords ready. But I would suggest a 2.5” SATA SSD, 2TB are not expensive right now.

@@alegreviews thanks, i already have two 3.5 3tb hdd one next to ram and one next to gpu, i need to know if i can keep both hdd while upgrading to bigger gpu

No. I wouldn’t put more. I don’t think another one will fit. Even if you somehow squeeze it in - keep in mind that it will consume energy as well as increased consumption from videocard and decrease airflow so everything will heat more. 2.5” sata SSD is like 3 times thinner and will consume less energy.

@@alegreviews i guess it wont fit, i ll try to get a smaller card, thanks for the info.

Better get a 2tb ssd sata, below $100 on sale

I got this computer on sale then upgraded, it was for someone. It’s actually more than they need. 16GB of Ram is a cheap and easy upgrade, so it makes it all set with the RAM. Adding a 1/2/4 TB SATA SSD is cheap too now, solves the possible storage issue. Initial 256GB is definitely a small amount that’s only good if you play just a couple of games. Most of advanced games are over 50GB, sometimes close to 100GB. The mediocre CPU is fine. Most of games will be limited by videocard. RX 6600 is about as good as You can put in this computer without overpowering the 400W power supply and it’s like twice or so faster than RX 5500. It provides mid level performance. So if you buy something a lot more expensive with i7 12-13th gen (much faster cpu) and a videocard like rtx 3060 or 4050 - it will be kinda close in fps in most games (a bit faster). A much faster CPU won’t make a huge difference. But you ll pay almost twice more (considering that you ll sell rx 5500 for $70-$100 or so). Upgrading existing computer like that it that way is a good alternative to buying a new expensive machine.

All of these are too powerful, 550w PSU recommended. Also they will probably going to be too big for the case anyway. I d say that rx 6600 is absolute maximum for this computer.

@@alegreviewsno it’s not. Rtx 4060 draws around 150w of power. U realistically can put at max a Rx 6700 XT or rtx 4060 Ti - rtx 3060 Ti in these. It just comes down to size of those cards

I would not push to the limit that tiny PSU. Always good to stay a bit below the PSU. Manufacturers recommend much more powerful PSUs for them. And ye, I m not sure if any of them will physically fit in the case.

@@alegreviews they literally have made builds with those gpus. With that exact psu. It’s not gonna do anything. Ur overestimating the pwr usage of those cpus which will pull at max 75w

Maybe, but better be safe than sorry. If I bought something for serious future upgrades - I would go with something else from the beginning ( bigger case at least ).

400w is considered low but it will be ok as long as you don’t add 3 hard drives and upgrade the cpu

@@alegreviews Do you think its worth the upgrade

Games will run at 50-100% higher fps. I would upgrade RAM from 8GB to 16GB or even 32GB. That’s a much cheaper upgrade I would do before upgrading a videocard

@trenhen4311 vast majority of games need GPU much more than CPU. This CPU can even handle a better videocard and not be a bottleneck. Most of assembled CPUs are backwards. Like you can see i9 14th gen with 4090, but in reality even i5 14th gen won’t make big difference. It would fine to pair it even with 6700xt or even geforce 3070, even 4070. Yes, $100 cpu with $500 videocard is better than $200 cpu with $300 videocard. I would not got above 6600/4060 only because of your PSU and physical size of the case (bigger ones won’t fit)

Not recommended, it usually says 500w on videocards. I d probably look at rtx 4060 instead if we are talking about lower power gpu if you find one small enough. I would always suggest having a more powerful PSU. But then you might as well switch case, and then motherboard and entire computer))).

@@alegreviewsoh wow I didn’t know it was that low in power, however would a ryzen 3 5300G be enough for it like bottleneck wise?

If you upgrade videocard, then r3 5300g gonna be the weakest spot, it will still be fine in some games. Then you ll want to get r7 5700-5800g). See if it might be better to just stay on this computer and later on buy an entirely new one on sale (bigger one for easy videocard upgrades) or assemble one from scratch - this way you can invest into good motherboard, good brand ram, ssd, like 700-800W power supply etc.

@@alegreviews oh ok thank you last question but would a 5600X be compatible with this pc because the website states only 5600G 5700G but 5600X has the same tdp as them so idk if it will work

Both use AM4, should be good, but I don’t know for sure. I never tried those. I would check reddit/quorra to see what others put in, and read about your motherboard. Some people even put 5800G + RTX 3070 with 400W but I bet it will burn eventually

Probably your power supply is weaker and can’t handle it

@@alegreviews my power supply is L05757-800

This model comes with 400w. Some similar ones can be 310W, 500W etc. They put different CPUs depending on specs. There are dozens of variations of Pavilion Gaming

You needed newer more efficient one. 1080 is old. 500w should be fine. I think it will need one with 2 connectors 8pin for additional power

@@alegreviews wait so will I need a new adaptor or a new connector so that my 1080 will work with the new power supply ? It's the max this system supports, it's the 500 watt with model 795-0003UR LO5757-800. It's the one I found on ebay at least

@Boba_Fett1980 check reddit forums people who has tried that

@@alegreviews I did but couldn't find a clear answer that I could understand

Look if your 1080 have inputs for additional power

No, lol

@@alegreviews lmaoo bro im not sure if your being sarcastic or not lmaoo . like if i upgrade my power supply to? im sorry im new to this pc life . is the issue size? or overheating?

4070 is too powerful and too good for such computer. Both power and size. Maybe 4050 at best. Changing power supply - I would suggest just assembling a new computer with big case. It’s way overstretching for this computer. Sometimes it’s good to just buy what you really like full computer on sale at a good price, then add simple stuff like 2nd SSD and RAM

a new driver from manufacturer probably.

@@alegreviews ? Mine has a Radeon rx 5500 and I’m gonna put in a rx 6600 like you and add 2 sticks of 8 gigabyte ram do I need to install anything once I put them in or can I just play immediately after

@jacobtperm2657 if you do it first time - keep on mind that you can break it if you do something wrong. If installed correctly everything should work right away. I would install new drivers from amd site

@@alegreviewsok I’m saving up but I should have the parts in a month I’m gonna try and do exactly what you did but also add ram while I’m in there

@jacobtperm2657 watch videos of people doing that with a good camera shot if You never did Yourself. One wrong move and you can break it

Yes. Mine has 5600G. What CPU do you currently have?

@@alegreviews I have a intel i5 10400f

@dnlerr4382 of course not. Motherboards for Intel and AMD have different CPU sockets. Ryzen 5 5600 is a competitor for a slightly newer Intel like i5-11400 probably. But I don’t think difference gonna be big. I would not switch to another CPU

If you want to save more get some nvme 3rd gen crucial, if you want one of the best - get samsung 990 pro. Preferably if you buy on sale at newegg.com or bestbuy or bhphoto

@@alegreviews how steep is the performance contrast between a 990 pro and a nvme 3rd gen crucial. Would a 980 pro still be a lot better than crucial?

@trenhen4311 much faster, like at very least double the write/read speed. but you may not notice the difference as much in real life experience because either way they very fast. I compared 980 pro to my old samsung sata ssd 850 pro and 980 pro literally shows it is 10 times faster read/write speed than a decent sata ssd Samsung SSDs and Flash Drives never failed me.

@trenhen4311 actually I think the motherboard only supports 3rd gen. So you can save $ and just buy 3rd gen nvme. If you buy 4th - it will just work at speed of 3rd

@@alegreviews alright. Thanks for help man. Really appreciate it

They probably refuse to install anything all together because even rx 6600 or rtx 4060 say that you need a 500W power supply. And you have 400W at best which means you are not really supposed to install anything more powerful than what you have. My bet is that they ll refuse to do it

What about a rtx 2060 I think that is for my power supply

It’s an older one. While you can get it at a good price for performance - it consumes 175W (500W recommended PSU) which is about as much as RX 6700 Newer stuff consumes less power per “performance”. RTX 4060 - much less power consumption

Yes. 4060 uses even less power. And faster. Make sure you buy brand that fits in the case. They are all different. Like $100 more though

400W - not much

@@alegreviews you are lucky bc mine is 310W and i want to upgrade my gpu and i dont know what to do 😭

No upgrades for you. Just keep it as it is. You can add ram or sata ssd, nothing else

@@alegreviews RIP

I m sure some people will say yes. I would not recommend. That’s about 30-40w extra power consumption. I don’t want to recommend something that I would not do. The retail box on 6600 will probably say: use 450 or 500 w power supply. It is probably a bit overstretching. I would suggest just using it as is. And buy something completely new or build yourself later. Or you may upgrade it and power supply to like 500w and then go for something like 6700(xt)

@@alegreviews Is there any way to upgrade just the power supply, without upgrading mainboard and case? Like can you search for a 500 w power supply which fits into the hp case, i havent found anything.

@YoussefJizzer some people in the comments did just that. But you d need to disassemble a lot. Check reddit forums. You ll get good advice

Oh ye. $20-25 to get to 16GB from 8GB is a huge upgrade. I did that

Some might, but 3060 needs too much power. 4060 actually faster and needs less power ( but more $)

@@alegreviews so i found the gigabyte nvidia gefore rtx 4060 but idk if it will fit in here

@boulangerielaroyaltine5624 find its dimension, find dimensions of your current one, see if added length/height is not an issue

@@alegreviews okay so its 28.1cm long 11.4 cms high? and 3.1cm wide

i just dont want to buy a gpu only to find out i dont have the right dimensions

most games don't care about CPU, 10 year old CPU sometimes can be just fine for the game, but videocard and ram amount always matter. CPU is almost never a bottleneck

I googled its size - it should be same so you ll have to bend the case to fit it. Power consumption is higher so idk if it will be fine or it can burn the computer

It might be too powerful for the 400W PSU. I think it’s too much for this computer

Yo podría sustituir la PSU. ¿Conoces alguna compatible?

Según hp la de 400w se banca la 3060 por qué es platinum entonces la eficiencia es de 98%

I don’t know. If I wanted a more powerful computer I would get something much bigger in size to fit bigger videocards. This model is a basic gaming computer. If you want to upgrade PSU and videocard then you may just as well just buy a new/2nd computer. I d say it might even better to build your own with all the parts that you want and find on sale. As for prebuilt computers I prefer keeping them as they are and just do simple RAM and SSD upgrade More powerful videocards will need more powerful PSUs with additional power connectors and this computer only has 1x 8 pin connector for extra power, and more powerful videocards generally use 2.

How can I help you?

@@alegreviews so, the model I have here looks like the identical case and mobo as yours but it has a 9th gen i5 and a GTX 1650. The 1650 was blown in a power surge but everything else seems good. I have a gigabtye dual fan GTX 1660 super here I'm going to replace it with but this 1650 ran off the PCIe slot, it didn't require a 4 / 8 pin but the 1660 super does require the extra power. I can't find any connector coming off the psu to connect the new gpu. Any idea? Greatly appreciate it friend

@ReptilianRichardRamirez i m actually surprised your computer didn’t have it. Your power supply is probably 310w or lower and 1660 super will be too powerful for it anyway

@@alegreviews it looks like it's a 350w, I did eventually find the power, they had it tucked away. This isn't my main rig or anything, just an old one i picked up for cheap to possibly resell so I'm not losing sleep over it or anything. It has like 10th or 11th gen i5.. 350 would be cutting it close for a 1660 super eh? Realllllllllly didn't want to have to buy anything for it but it looks like I may be getting a new PSU. These modern prebuilts are soooo bad. The mobo in this thing actually made me laugh. I think people wanting something low end to do a bit of gaming on would be much better suited to buy one of the newish rdna2 / 3 mini PCs. The raddeon 680m iGPU in my secondary PC is basically on par with something like this. Thanks for your help brother. I truly appreciate taking a minute for me.

@ReptilianRichardRamirez GTX 1650 would be fine. GTX 1660 super - I don’t know, I d say you need 400W. When I was building my previous PC years ago - I just put great motherboard and 750W Antec for future upgrades. And that computer lasted for over 10 years, still works, I might use it somewhere for something, not sure yet. Budget prebuilt computers use medium to cheaper motherboards, ram, ssd, psu. I would not use 350w with 1660 super for myself. I am the who overpays for power supplies. But it is probably ok. I would just load it 100% and see how it works. And see how much power it actually draws under 100% load. I use UPCs for my computers, so they show used power and it is actually less than I thought it would be. I might as well save a bit on power supply next time

I absolutely agree, I keep forgetting. I usually do everything on the table

I want to send you the specs and stuff cuz I don’t know what to upgrade my graphics card to

@RageUchihaYT better not to do anything if You don’t know. That’s just for computer specialists. Otherwise you ll probably break it

@@alegreviews I mean I upgraded my ram and ssd I just need to know what graphics card I can upgrade to and see if my power supply can handle it

If you have 400W - i would not go further than rx 6600, some people in the comments upgraded to 3060, 6700 xt - I would not risk. A very important thing is physical size. Most of videocards are longer or taller. I had to bend the case to put that 6600 in. If you have only 310W - just stay with what it came with

@@alegreviews I have 400w I might do a case swap in the future so I can upgrade the power supply to 1000w but I will try the same upgrade you did cuz we do have the same pc. Like buying i bigger tower and motherboard and taking everything out and putting it in a new case.
