[SOLVED] First PC

[killamariii]

Hello everyone! As you can tell by the title this is my first PC. I have decided to go the budget route and order a prebuilt dell optiplex 790 mini tower i5-2400, 8GB ram, 2TB HDD, 120GB SDD. I was wondering what type of gpu i could put into this system without changing the psu, and what kind of gpu i could use if i did upgrade the psu. I know very little about computers and any help is welcomed.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums 😀
without changing the PSU, any of the cards that do not require AUX power. the GT/X 1030, 1050, 1050ti, rx 550 rx 560, the GTX 1650 or 1650 super.
if you change the PSU, any card you wish that physically fits in the case.

Is there a big difference between the 1650 and 1650 super? Also, do you have a recommendation for a PSU and GPU to go with it?

For the general idea, the gist.
https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1650S-Super-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1650/4058vs4039
budget but good, the CX series by Corsair, the CX-550M as an example.
a bit better, Seasonic Focus, corsair TXm
can't go wrong, Seasonic Focus Prime/Gold or the Corsair RMx.

What would be your #1 suggestion if i were to keep the current PSU? Also, im not sure what its called but does the 1650 super require to be plugged in with some type of cord?

Both the 1650 and the 1650S are 75W cards, the PCIe slot provides 75W. no extra power needed.

do you have a link for the 1650S?

apologies the 1650 super is a 100W card.
you would need a PSU for the super.
I was misreading the specs, need more caffeine. lol

1050 ti

Awesome thank you so much for the help. I think ill be getting the 1050ti because it seems the 1650 is sold out everywhere.
