What hardware do I need to replace? My casing is 450Watt

[obamaputih]

Motherboard Asus H81MC
Processor Intel core i3 4150
RAM 16GB
HDD Seagate 500GB
VGA Asus GT730 2GB DDR3 128bit
Windows 10 64bit
Casing Azzura2000 450Watt

What piece should I replace to get better framerate/perfomance, when my casing is 450Watt?

I suggest upgrading that video card with an nvidia 1050ti. The i3 is ok for a while still and you have enough RAM.

I would also replace your HDD with a SSD. Won't increase fps but will load games faster and increase system performance.

If you have an Azzura "450W" I would replace that as well.

thanks.
is my 450Watt enough if I change my video card to nvidia 1050ti?

Also that nvidia gtx 1050ti is DDR5, my mobo is DDR3, is it okay tho?

It's not that 450W is "enough". The problem is the company that made that "450W" PSU. I promise you, it can't output anywhere near 450W. Low end junk PSUs that come with cases are garbage. Plain and simple. A real 450W is more then enough to power that system, but you don't have a real 450W.

As for DDR5 vs DDR3, it doesn't matter. The memory controller that controls the DDR3 is in the CPU, while the memory controller that controls the DDR5 is in the GPU. You aren't trying to force DDR5 which doesn't exist into a DDR3 slot. You are plugging a card into the board that just happens to have DDR5 on it.

yes, i know my casing is so bad, but its okay.. i need to use this one.

I believe 450W is enough for gtx 1050 ti, thanks for your answer

The case doesn't matter. You could use no case if you wanted. It's the "PSU" you are using that's the problem. 450W is more than enough for your system, but as I said above you don't have a 450W PSU. I'm not trying to be a jerk and make you feel bad about the parts you have. You keep talking to me however like you completely don't understand the point I'm trying to make. I never said your case was low end, I said your PSU is. There are many 450W PSUs I'd trust with your system, that's not one of them. And you'd do yourself a big favor by not lying to yourself and saying it will be fine.

Edit: Lets look at a hunk of junk.

Here is a "450W" PSU. If you look at the specs you can see that although it claims to be a 450W PSU, it lacks any kind of PCIe plug. My 450W PSU has two 6+2pin PCIe plugs. This doesn't even have a single 6pin? If you try to look up the power info it's completely lacking. The chart with the power distribution only lists what the single rails are limited to. You can't just add the two 14A rails together to get the total 12V rail output. Even if you did you only get 336W, nothing near the claimed 450W. 14A is also REALLY low. Most rails are limited to 18or 20A. While the 1050TI isn't a high draw card, the rails on this PSU might still have issues powering one if they are limited to 14A.

I can't find any reviews or anything on your "450W" PSU. But I suspect it's of a similar quality to this unit. Try using it if you want, but don't kid yourself by calling it a 450W PSU.

thanks for clearing it up for me, actually I dont really understand about this computer thingy (first time having a PC), but looking at your explanation it make sense to me.

So if I dont have a 450W PSU, can you recommended me something I should do?

 

[4745454b]

You'd have to upgrade the PSU. A 450W would be enough, but you need one that can output 450W. Looking at reviews for Azzura I'm guessing you aren't in the USA. And that can be a problem. I'm honestly not sure if you have the funds to buy a card and a PSU. I mostly just wanted you to be aware of the quality of your PSU. I can't find a review, but I'm sure it's not that good.

I actually have funds, thats why I ask what hardware should I replace at first question haha. I just dont think the PSU is a problem (I am wrong).

what do you mean on Upgrade the PSU? Buy a new Good Brand PC Case?

The 1050ti requires a 300w per newegg specs.

System Requirements 300W or greater power supply.

Again, your case is (probably, I haven't looked it up.) fine. You can unscrew the case and put a quality PSU in. Seasonic, Antec, EVGA, etc. A 450-500W should be all you need. You just need a better one.

The 1050ti requires a 300w per newegg specs.

That of course is for the system, not the card itself. The card itself is around 75W depending on the model.
