    [SOLVED] Help with replacing the parts of a prebuilt Lenovo PC (branded)

    Thanks for the reply. I wanted to ask about the GPU and PSU just to be sure. would I be able to install a 1660 6GB (that has a 450w req.) by just replacing my PSU with another that has 500W? I'd like to know if the PSU size matters, since the case that the prebuilt came with is really small...
