Question Upgrading PC

[Ankasia]

At the moment I am running a Pentium Gold G5420 on a PRIME H310M-E R2.0, alongside a Asus GT 1030 Low Profile GDDR5 and I want to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 1650 Super GDDR6 and the CPU to a I7 8700, I am not pretty sure that would be 100% compatible. Im using PC Builder from PcPartPicker and a bottleneck calculator to be sure,, but I still need the aprove from real people! My major question is the GPU. Do I need a new motherboard to change from GDDR5 to GDDR6?

Thanks in advance and have a great day

1. Ignore the "bottleneck calculators". Pure junk science.
2. The VRAM in the GPU has nothing to do with the motherboard. It will work.

what power supply do you have, and how old is it?

you don't need a new mobo. My very old mobo runs fine with a GTX 1650 GDDR6.

Spoiler

that is a rather old cpu you have there. Don't buy a 1650 Super. A regular 1650 would work better with that.

My power supply is a brand new EZCOOL 600W 80+, and the thing with the 1650 Super is that a friend is selling his 1650 for a good price better than a regular 1650! Thanks again

ok, I know you're excited to have a stronger gpu. But are you sure that second hand 1650 Super is working fine? Why is your friend selling it at a low price?

Yes the GPU is working fine, and the price is because he is moving and he is going to buy a console and he knows that I want a better GPU

that's good then. A 1650 super can do a lot more than a 1030. It depends on the game, but you might see improvements.

Here is the cpu support list for your motherboard:

PRIME H310M-E R2.0｜Motherboards｜ASUS USA

ASUS Prime motherboards are expertly engineered to unleash the full potential of AMD and Intel processors. Boasting a robust power design, comprehensive cooling solutions and intelligent tuning options, these ASUS motherboards provide daily users and DIY PC builders a range of performance tuning...

Yes, a I7-8700 is supported.

Either gpu will run on slot power only so you should be ok with either graphics card.
The 1650Super is the stronger card.

Buying a cheap psu was probably a mistake.
A cheap psu can become expensive if it should fail.
Not much to be done now.
How long is the warranty?
