For this build :
Gpu : gt1030
Cpu : core i3 10100f
Ram : g skill aegis 8gb 3200mhz

Can you show photo of psu label from that thing?

300W PSU would be enough to power that setup. GT 1030 uses only ~30W. Very power efficient.

Ok wait a sec
I have the psu right now so i'll just take a picture and send it here
I am using the gt1030 with a core i3 550 on this psu but i'm just not sure about core i3 10100f and h410m-k

That's 255W PSU. Old, low end unit.
Your system power requirements are so low, it would work just fine.


But if you ever decide to put some more powerful graphics card in there, then definitely change PSU also.

Yeah it's old but thank you so much!
And ummm i also have another question
Let's say i upgrade from this :
RAM: DDR3 4GB 1333MHZ
GPU: GT430
CPU: Core i3 550
To this :
RAM: DDR4 8GB 3000MHZ
GPU: GT1030
CPU: Core i3 10100f
How much of an upgrade would it be?
Well of course i don't want it for heavy gaming or anything like that but on that old pc, windows 10 is running slow as heck

And how do i make it say SOLVED?

Pretty significant upgrade.
Cpu - from 2core/4thread to 4core/8thread.
If slow windows is your main concern, then get SSD for your system. This is absolute must for any modern pc.

Ow. That psu will work, but it's a question of for how long. It's a 50¢ pair of flip-flops, works ok for shower-shoes, but 1 good trip to the beach and they are done. They'll not only break, but give you blisters as well, and thats the main issue with modern equipment, it Likes nice clean power, where DC voltage actually looks like the straight line it's supposed to be, that psu you have is not capable of that.

It would be first on the list for replacement, as soon as possible, finding a better Quality psu will not be hard as low on the list as that unit is.
