Hello, I'd like to ask if I can replace the parts of my prebuilt Lenovo PC (branded). I've been looking into various GPUs that I could use, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to replace any other parts beforehand.
The motherboard looks old, and I don't know if I have to replace it or not if I wanted to buy, for example, a GTX 1660.
Second of all, I'd have to buy a new PSU to fit the watt requirement of the newer cards. Don't know if I have enough space or if there's anything I need to do beforehand to replace it.
Third of all, I know that my CPU would not be able to match the performance of the new GPU. I'd like to know if the bottleneck would affect any of the parts. (Not the fps, just the parts themselves. I can't afford a processor at the moment)
I'm sorry if all of this sounds ridiculous, I've never built or managed a PC before. (I'm desperate to run Elden at a solid.. over 30fps. This is my end goal.)
Here's some info:
Lenovo Ideacentre 510-15KL 90G8
Model: 90G800P7CY
CPU: Intel Core i5-7400
GPU: GTX 1050
RAM: 8GB
Motherboard: UEFI 36C5 SDK0J40700 (?)
BIOS: Lenovo O2TKT52A
If it's possible to replace any of the parts, I'd appreciate any help with upgrading the pc.
Thanks in advance.
