CPU: Intel Core i7-9700
Motherboard: Lenovo 3714 SDK0R32862 (prebuilt PC motherboard)
Ram: 2x8gb (prebuilt PC ram)
SSD/HDD: 512GB SSD (prebuilt PC SSD)
(I also have an old HDD that I will replace with a Samsung 870 EVO 1TB after I upgrade my PSU/whatever else needs to be upgraded. Didn't want to do too much at once considering I'm new)
GPU: Currently a EVGA GTX 1050 (I have a EVGA 2060 I am wanting to put in, hence the upgrade)
PSU: 180W (pre-built PC PSU)
OS: Windows 10
Sorry for the lack of proper information. I bought a prebuilt computer a long while back to which I put my old GPU into (the 1050.) The PC was listed as "Lenovo IdeaCentre 510A-15ICK Core i7-9700 3.0GHz 512GB SSD 16GB " and bought from OfficeMax/Staples/something of the likes, for what it is worth.
I bought this maybe two years back hoping it would be a good build to upgrade. Knowing now it is horrible, I regret the decision, but I wonder if there is any easy way to perhaps upgrade this PC regardless. I researched some and saw I obviously needed a new PSU, and I'm amazed truly that somehow this PSU has run my PC as well as it has (it has no switch at the back, which says a lot, at least in my opinion.)
I bought a 500W EVGA PSU from Amazon, but the reviews seemed extremely poor. That part is on me, but prior I had tried to replace my PSU myself, but the pins/wires/everything just didn't seem to line up. The PSU in my computer currently has way fewer cords attached to it than the one I bought (Listed as "EVGA 500W 80PLUS Certified ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR") and I was, to be very transparent, even more confused. I feel if my motherboard/PSU (probably a mix of the two) were properly upgraded in the first place, I would not feel this daunting pain.
Honestly, overall, I am just looking for any advice on where to move forward/a good PSU suggestion that might suit my absolute confusion, or any advice on working with the maneuvering of this. I would love to upgrade my PSU, but if it's a trouble with my motherboard too, then I might turn to just getting an upgraded pre-built. My physical health has been severely declining lately, and I mainly wanted to take on the task of a PSU change. Wasn't sure who else to ask, as I have no friends with knowledge, so I thought I'd turn to this community for any advice.
Thanks for any help, and sorry for my lengthy words and probable confusion. I'm not quite sure what I am doing yet, so it's hard to summarize! If I can help more in any way to help anybody help me, let me know!
