[SOLVED] Upgrading Setup

[jcrs24]

I have a prebuilt HP Pavilion Power Gaming Desktop Computer, AMD Ryzen 5 1400, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 16GB RAM, 1TB hard drive, 128GB SSD, Windows 10 (580-148, Black). I’m looking to upgrade the graphics card but need to also upgrade the psu for this. Is there any recommended power supply’s that fit the dimensions of the cases? I found that for the gpu a geforce rtx 2060 mini 6 gb should fit on this motherboard and has recommended psu of at least 500w.

Chances are, you have a standard ATX psu.
The dimensions of the rear opening for the psu should be 150mm x 86mm if it is a standard ATX.
While the length of a psu can vary, fron 140mm to 180mm or so.
The seasonic focus 550w is as short as they come at 140mm and is a top quality unit:

What is the difference between the GX series and GM series if any? Because the GX series looks to be out of stock.

GX is full modular, GM is semi modular.
semi is fine, the permanently attached cables are all going to be used anyway.
