[SOLVED] compatability

[Cameron Sharp]

Hi, I was wondering if I could replace my old amd r7 200 series with the amd rx 480. Thanks.

specs:
CyberPowerPc
16gb ram
350 watt power supply
(motherboard): gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3 6.0
amd fx-8320 8core-8threads- 4.0Ghz
amd r7 200 series
1tb hard drive

You'd need to upgrade the PSU.

Not gonna work.
About the strongest graphics card that would work with your psu would be a GTX1650 that does not need an aux 6 pin power lead.
Here is a chart for other options:

And, FX-8320 is a weak processor for gaming that probably can not drive a card stronger than the GTX1650 anyway.

what if I upgrade to a 500 or 750 watt power source?

I just found a 700 watt source, would that work? Or should I look into upgrading the whole pc, or if its easier what is the best gpu I can get that is compatible with my system if i upgraded to a 700 watt source

What the make and model? A good 700w unit is overkill while a poor 700w could just be a system killer. There's more to a PSU than it's advertised wattage.
