Upgrading the video card on a Lenovo H430 desktop.

[Jack_105]

Hello!

I decided to finally upgrade the video card on my Lenovo ThinkCentre H430.

The setup is:

CPU: Intel Pentium G645 2.9Ghz
Ram: 1x4GB DDR3 1333mhz
GPU: GT 630 (Can't figure out the manufacturer, but It has 4gb DDR3 memory )
2x WD 500gb 7200rpm drives
1x optical DVD/CD RW drive.

I can run most games with decent FPS (20-30) and games like CS:GO at 60 without problems, but the PC is struggling with more demanding ones, so I decided to get a new GPU and I am going to get an ASUS GTX750TI PH 2Gb DDR5!

The problem is that I am not sure, If my PSU will be able to handle it, although on the Asus site it
says the GTX750TI requires up to 75W and no additional PCIe power is required. So does the Asus Gt 630 that I am using for comparison, as i cannot figure out who makes my card. 🙁

This is the PSU: http://www.ctsestore.com/ibm-lenovo-thinkcentre-280w-power-supply-liteon-ps-5281-7vw-41n3480-41n3479-8991-tower

Any ideas are welcome! Thanks!

ps. this is my first post on the forums, so sorry if i messed something up.

they use the same power so yes the upgrade is possible however a new power supply wouldn't hurt

Some 750ti's do and some don't. It would be a decent upgrade but pick carefully!
