Pavilion 550-151na: the PSU and GPU upgrade for my 550-151na?

What would you recommend I bought this as my first PC and I am under the understanding I can't upgrade my GPU because the PSU is not able to manage up to what would work with that PC? I'll do it when I can, but I would like to know. If I can't I will return the PC when it happens and buy a PC from Dell Alienware

This desktop PC has a Μatx PSU with a production capacity of 180 Watts. It is not enough to feed a video PCIe x 16 game card. The PSU Μatx has also no PCIe connector for a video card.

  • The x 51 PSU and GPU upgrade?

    Hello

    I just bought the x 51 (http://www.amazon.com/Alienware-AX51R2-5726BK-X51AX51R2-5726BK-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B00FE8MJSO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404271057&sr=8-1&keywords=x51). I was a little disappointed by the performance (running watch dogs on smaller settings and still getting lag problems). I'm looking to upgrade to the R9 270 x, but external power skinny 240 watts does not seem to be up to the task.

    I found a post on this topic here: http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19579742.aspx but do not see anything specific on the upgrade of the PSU. I also wanted to check that my X 51 will be compatible with the R9 x 270.

    How can I upgrade the PSU, and where can I get the right replacement?

    Thanks for the help!

    Edit:

    Yes, the R9 270 X is the fastest videocard supported for this model. However, the video card from this link does not have the X 51 R2.

    Supported in the X 51 R2 larger dimensions are 9.5 "length, height 4,376". The dimensions of this video according to Amazon card are:

    Product dimensions: 10.2 x 5.1 x 1.5 inches

    Note: The adapter from 330W should be enough for the 270 R9 or R9 270 X.

  • Upgrading the PSU and GPU for my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t

    Operaring system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Several features of the product: HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t

    due to the diablo 3. I updated graphic setting the lowest. FPS is between 15-22 so I'm interested in upgrading my power supply HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t(specs are above) and graphics card with the following, respectively:

    GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1 GB 256-bit GDDR5

    GPU size: 9 "x 4.4"

    Power supply: Antec High Current Gamer HCG-750 750W Series

    "Power supply Dimensions: 7.1"x 5.9"x 3.4"

    I wonder if these prodcuts will enter the computer, as is or if I should look for other products.

    Thank you

    The ASUS GTX 560 should adapt and work very well. The Antec PSU is great and very likely to have problems in the space provided. It can interfere with connections to the motherboard and push against the CD/DVD discs. Please look at the Corsair CX600 instead. It is only slightly larger than the block of power SUPPLY HP stock and is known to adapt.

  • After replacing the PSU and GPU in my HP Pavilion desktop computer, the wifi stopped working.

    I'm upgrading my pc, I plug a new PSU and video card.

    After successfully, I replaced and installed, I booted up my PC, but it showed that none of the networks or wifi connections are available.

    I read that maybe it's something to do with the antenni?, I noticed something that looked like antenni tangeled upward in the power supply cables, I did not use them. but I have no idea what could be the problem.

    Thank you for the information, @henry321.

    Yes, I suggest to leave the side panel on the computer and then move the led in the case and look at the signal.  You may need to route through an opening in the case is outside of the case.  I think I read that it is the best way to get a good signal.

  • XPS 400 PSU and GPU upgrades

    I have a xps 400 and I want to update my NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS to the Radeon HD 7850 2 GB graphics card. The current supply is 375 watt and I need at least 500 watts to run. Is there a powersupply upgrades for my system?

    http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review, 3107 - 4.html

    All latest versions of PCIe x 16 are supposed to be retro-compatible with all older versions.  While 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 it should work.  It has also been shown that there is no significant loss of performance, put a card 3.0 on an old motherboard with an earlier version, when it comes to games.  After what you just said about a future update, go with the HD SA 7750.

  • This PSU and GPU will work with my dell inspiron 660?

    Hello

    I got my dell inspiron 660 earlier (2 years ago) and was thinking of upgrading the PSU and GPU (I'm not a big PC gamer so cheap products, I chose will be much used) anyone of you could tell me if it would be compatible with my inspiron and between them. And if not could you tell me some compatible CPU and GPU, my spending limit is £90.

    GPU - Asus GeForce GT 610

    PSU - power supply 600W Sumvision power X 3

    Thanks in advance,

    I think that the 660 has a 300W power supply.  What is the Min requirements for the GT 610?  I think you could slamming in there without having to upgrade the power supply at all.

    Hello

    You might want to consider requirements for Battlefield 3.

    The minimum power for video cards AMD is 400 watts and the power supply of your PC is only 350 watts.  You need to upgrade the PSU.

    As for a map video, I recommend the AMD Radeon 6850. It's $130 after rebate. You shouldn't have any problems ranging from medium to high heat with a screen resolution of 1600 by 900. PSU Corsair CX500 is adequate for the AMD Radeon 6850.  It is $40 after rebate.

    Adobe first Elements 13 do not interpret the film and properties correctly for widescreen is a mod. This has been brought to the attention of Adobe in December of 2014 by others. If you import a footage in Adobe Premiere elements 11 or 12, you can eliminate the black bars on the sides by setting predefined settings correctly and using properties and interpreting the film. Not the same with 13 elements. What has been done to correct the problem? How users can be compensated for the purchase of a program or upgrade to a program that has a fault serious?

    I have not seen Adobe personal or PRE_help this issue whenever it appears in one of the threads here. The frequency of appearance of personal Adobe or PRE_help is not defined. It's a call from Adobe on ignore or fix in the next version or other.

    This isn't Adobe. Instead a user. You need to contact Adobe to know the why of the situation and what his plans are to remedy the situation in order to allow the usual workaround if this is a solution that will make unnecessary workaround.

    You have a chance by converting the widescreen is a mod to another format that would recognize the flag of 16:9 wide screen of is a mod, if 16:9 is really there.

  • I want to divide the partion primary/basic C in 2 small, a C (primary with the OS) and G (extended-for everything else).

    Hi all.

    I just installed windows XP Pro on one of my computers. Now when installing, it showed me the main partition C and another extended partition (which was very small). Now windows gave me the option to install Windows on the C partition and it me has failed to use the extended partition, he said is reserved for windows. Now my problem is that it does give me an option to create a new partition (except on the extended unallowed was D). I want to divide the partion primary/basic C in 2 small, a C (primary with the OS) and G (extended-for everything else). I want only the OS on C. How do I do that? The PC has a single 79GB hard drive
