Question Graphics card compatible with Lenovo 3102 motherboard

[CappyW]

Hello! So, I wanted to buy a new GPU, because my prebuild doesn't have one. I have a Lenovo 3102 motherboard and I don't know what GPU to choose and I am afraid my power source is too small and doesn't provide enough power. It has 180W. Thank you!

Hey there,

If your PC came with only integrated graphics, then it's highly likely you will be able to power a discrete GPU. 180w is too little and if it's old may not even provide that much power.

Oh ok, I understand, thank you!
