Changing r7 340 to rx550. Is it possible with a10-7800 cpu.

[jessemanninen92]

Im going to upgrade my pcs, or i would like to, but..
I have Asus ROG g20bm with amd a10-7800 with amd radeon r7 340 and i have external power supply to 180w. So im thinking radeon rx550 4gb. Max power for rx550 is 75 watts and recommended psu is 350watts & 23Amps, but with little bit googling around i saw amd radeon r7 340 max power is 50 watts and recommended psu is 450watts & 33 Amps.
So is it safe to change r7 340 with rx550. Or atleast can it be done?

Edit: Or do i need another external psu with that 180, i can get two in this chassis at same time 180w and 240w

I looked around and it seems Asus themselves would have configured that with a 65W card if you ordered it that way. So a 550 should work. I wouldn't bother with the 4gb version, since the card is far too slow to use 4gb of vram in games. Also, make sure the model you choose is small enough to fit.

It should work, but i would recommend that you look at gtx 1050 2gb, its faster and better. And also i would recommend that you upgrade your psu.
