my pc model is this https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/IdeaCentre/ideacentre_51015ICB?M=90HU0058AU

can i put a gt 1030 with a 180w psu there are people saying they did it. and i just remembered msi afterburner has a max power draw thing cant i turn that down a bit as well if so how much should i turn it down?

65W CPU + ~40W TDP (real world peak power draw)... should be fine, assuming the PSU is halfway decent.

Very similar TDPs between a 1030 and 730, so you should be fine
