Is the HP PC9057 - 320W Power Supply enough to fit a Radeon 5750 in a standard HP microtower 8300?

P2 = 6-Pin
P3 = 4-Pin 12V
I can make pictures of the inside?

 

[rgd1101]

that a no, no pcie power cable.

 

[OwenJW]

Can i use a convertor cable of some kind?

 

[rgd1101]

and burn down the pc/house?

 

[OwenJW]

P1 = 6-Pin ATX is the one you mean right?

 

[rgd1101]

atx is not pcie, and your motherboard/cpu need that

 

[OwenJW]

Ok i'm lost. My pc has the powersupply mentioned, which is factory standard.
So what do you mean with

and your motherboard/cpu need that

 

[OwenJW]

I'm sorry, noob AF on this area.

 

[rgd1101]

psu need to power your system first.

 

[OwenJW]

Oh like that. So your recommendation for someone who has $100 to spare?
I can get the 5750 for $30 or the gtx760 for $50.
Can i make it work with the spare $50-70?

Does not look to be very upgradeable.

Thanks. I do have a older Asus K30AD. Is this one upgradable? A lot of parts could be combined such as my RAM from the HP to the Asus and such. Stupid idea or..?

 

[rgd1101]

stupid. both don't use standard components.

So what do you mean with

Your PSU is proprietary to your system. HP did NOT build that system for upgradability.

If you're "noob AF", I wouldn't even try to hack this HP into something usable.

That said, if you want to LEARN about building PC's and join the PCMR, I suggest getting a new case (ATX standard), new PSU (ATX standard), and new motherboard (ATX standard), and migrate your drive, RAM, CPU, etc. over to the new build and then install the new graphics card that will allow you to play more than Minecraft.

If the card has a TDP of 75w it should be no problem at all. I even got a 240w 8300 sff with i5 3570 to work with a zotac gtx 1650 4gb ddr5 and can confirm it works. It draws a whopping 160w from the wall measured which still gives plenty of headroom

The tdp of the 5770 is 108w which means that the card needs a 1x 6p connector. I honestly think a molex or SATA to 6 pin convertor will do just fine. The HP powersupplies are in fact quite good as they have undervoltage and overvoltage protection. I once had tried out a RX580 on a normal powersupply of HP Z400 and that made the computer do a hard shutdown in gaming (380w total). Keep in mind this was a 130w Xeon + 200 ish watt RX 580. So no "exploding" of computer parts.

The recommended psu wattage is only for warranty purposes. I would just do the following calculation:

Max tdp cpu+ max tdp gpu + 40watts for HDD and SSD and peripherals and stuff.

I think you'll be just fine. Just give it a try and if it doesnt work just look for a 75w card.

Decided to buy a second hand pc with a GTX 960, 550w psu, z3(idk if thats correct) game mobo and a lot of space to upgrade. literally and figuratively.

Thanks for all the advice.

With that system ready for a decade of games i haven't played, i will definitely get into pc building. Things start to make sense, so much i can't believe i didn't 'get it' before.
