upgrading lenovo k450 for gaming

[Robbiehernon]

hey guys!!!
I have a Lenovo K450 and want to upgrade it to play the latest games like wither 3 and fallout 4 at 1080p 60FPS.

I think the cpu is fine - I5 4440
but i want to upgrade the gpu to a -EVGA GeForce GTX 960 04G-P4-3967-KR 4GB SSC.

the psu is 280w so i need to upgrade it as well.
im not sure what psu to get because it has to be 400w up and im not sure if it will fit in my case.
i was wondering if u guys could help me in finding one
thanks

Budget? PSU will fit and is compatible, but you need to get an ITX version of the 960.

Would the normal card not fit in my pc ?

From looking at pcitures for the inside of your PC it won't. Measure and see how much clearance you have. You need at least 8.6" of clearance for the ASUS Strix 960 (This will be slightly less or more for other 960 models).

That's a very cheap, low quality PSU that isn't meant to be used with an enthusiast GPU. You can expect to pay around $50-60 for a good PSU. Anything from Seasonic or XFX, along with EVGA's B2, GS, G2 and P2 lines are fine.

The G2 is the best, with a 7 year warranty but the B2 gives you the best value for money at only $60 for 750W, if you plan on upgrading to a better GPU later on. If you're on a budget, go with the XFX or the Seasonic (I recommend the Seasonic as long as it's the same price or only slightly more expensive than the XFX), if yoou want some headroom for later upgrades get the B2 and if you want the best PSU possible get the G2.
