[Rasmus213m]

i have a prebuilt legion t530-28apr and i want to upgrade the motherboard but will i be able to with the powersupply it has or will i have to buy a new one?

I would avoid swapping the motherboard out to something else in your prebuilt since you might run into issues with your front panel for the case. What PSU came with your prebuilt? The power connectors on the motherboard aren't proprietary but the front panel headers and the rear ports will be your hindranace.

I would personally advise on looking at a cheap motherboard, reliably built, quality PSU then swap over the ram, if you have a dual channel DDR4-3200MHz/3600MHz ram kit with tight latencies.
