Upgrading PSU in a prebuild

[nutski1873]

Can you change the PSU from a prebuilt Acer Predator Orion 3000 (500w PSU installed) to a more powerful one to run a better GPU? If so how easy is it/and what would you suggest sticking in it?

It looks like it is technically possible, but the connectors are proprietary, so you'd need at least one adapter cable and reports (from a google) are mixed about how successful this is.

What graphics card are you trying to upgrade? It is possible that you can still achieve something with the stock PSU and a single 8-pin PCIE connector (assuming that is present).
