[SOLVED] What is the best psu for this lenovo pre-built pc

Solution
IF any GPU which doesn't require extra power than the PCIe slot works, then the best GPU to get would undoubtedly be a GTX1650
In theory, yes.
But the case has little ventilation and a GT1030 is a big jump in capability over integrated graphics.
I don't think I would test the assertion with only a 180w psu.
The i3-9100 processor has a TDP of 65w.
A pcie slot maxes at 75w leaving precious little left over if a max 75w gtx1650 Is installed.
I think a GT1030 would be a fine upgrade.

Well,I'II try to do gt 1030 if that works then I'II save money for the costly upgrades. Gt 1030 would be temporary solution.
Hope gt 1030 works
Thanks for replying and help

BTW, here's a suggestion:
If you could sell your current PC for around 120-150$ and add to that your present budget of 250$, you'll have approximately 400$. Something like:
Ryzen 3 3200G = 100$ / Ryzen 3 3300x = 120$
Zotac GTX1650 = 150$ Or RX570 which supposed to be cheaper but more powerful
8GB RAM + PSU = 80$
Mobo ~ 70-80$
Storage & Casing = your size and choice

[Do note: Intel builds are sometimes cheaper.]

Thanks for your suggestion,
it is possible to swap out the motherboard and use the new motherboard with old parts which i had in this pc?

MOST probably. I can't be 100% sure but it should be possible. You could take your PC to the store and ask them yourself. and in that case , you'll have to get a PSU, new Mobo, new GPU, new casing and probably a RAM sometime later if not possible now.
