Graphics card upgrade help

[Heavy_Hitter5]

I want to upgrade my graphics card but I'm worried
a new card won't be compatible with my computer for
some reason or another.

I bought a computer prebuilt a while ago because I didn't
think I was up to building an entire PC myself, although I
have upgraded my PC before so have some very limited knowledge.

I believe this is the same computer that I bought as a lot of the
specs that I know of look the same (the site I originally bought it
from only showed very basic spec info)

The only difference is that I have added an extra hard drive.

I was thinking of getting the RX 480 preowned as that's the
kind of price range that I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if it
would be compatible. I think I'd need to upgrade my PSU, but
I'm still not sure if the graphics card would be compatible with the rest of my PC.

Other card suggestions would be welcome.

The best new gpu you could get that you wont have to change the psu is a gtx 1050ti, if your going to get a 480 then you will have to get a new psu and make sure they will fit in your case.

Is there anyway to figure that out short of opening my PC up and measuring everything?

I tried a quick google search on the case but couldn't find anythig specific, it would be best to open the case and take measuremnts to be definate or check your manual.

If you take a picture and upload it to this forum we should be able to tell

Thanks for the support everyone, sorry for the late reply. I opted for the 1050 Ti in the end as my budget got a bit smaller.

I doubt you would have any warranty issues, all you need to do it unscrew the side panel and check the label on the psu to get an idea of type(you will need to open for gpu change either way) I suspect being that type of system it be an 80 plus bronze psu, however not sure if Asus would allow upgrades beyond proprietary.


Unless you need anything stronger than a 1050ti then you should just get that,

I bought a 450W Corsair branded PSU a few days ago and a 1050Ti, it seems to work well so far.

I added an additional hard drive recently too, everything seems to be running well at the moment
I'm guessing I won't run into any problems in the future?

I know the GPU isn't very demanding power wise at least.
