Title: Updating PC Question
Post by: juannrob on August 02, 2016, 06:01:52 PM

Hello.

Sorry for my bad english:

I have an 8-years-old Computer and I want to update my graphic card. I am looking for something cheap like Geforce Nvidia Gt730. My question is: Can I update just my graphic card without replacing another component?. Should I start updating another component?

PC Info:
- Motherboard: Intel DG31RP
- Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20 Ghz
- RAM: DDR2 4Gb
- Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512Mb
- Windows 10 64 Bits

For that card you will need a more powerful PSU...

Apart from the PSU, will I have problems with the other components if I put a new card? What PSU should I buy?
