Question Gigabyte H61M-DS2 3.0 with Gt 1030?

[Aldi Goodman]

Hello i have a Gigabyte H61M-DS2 3.0 motherboard with Intel Core i3 2130 @3.40GHz and DDR3 4GB RAM.
Can this config support a GeForce GT 1030?

Simple answer, yes it' should drop into the PCIex16 slot on the motherboard. What is the make, model and age of your PSU?

The GT 1030 should work fine with an i3 2100 and that motherboard, but that PSU is an old unit. Most of the info i found on it is from 2012 to 2015, so its at least 10 years old. I cant find any quality information on it either. Wattage wise, provided it isn't lying about how much it supports, it should work, but i would look for a better unit if possible.

168w @12v. That's nowhere near a 430w PSU. And it's old, very old. From the Pentium 4 era, early 2000s.
