worry about GPU upgrade

[yossefelwattar]

Hello,
I just bought a HP pavilion p6 Series "p6-2033mem" Case with a Foxconn 2ABF motherboard like 2 months ago..
now i'm using a radeon HD 5450 and I was thinking about upgrade it to a better GPU
like ( GTX 660, 750, 750ti or even GT 1030)
but i have some issues prevent me from start the upgrading process
1/ i saw some people having problems running those GPUs on foxconn 2ABF mobo
2/ I really can't upgrade my Case nor mobo again because of low budget
3/ I heard that HP dosen't allow their customers to upgrade the GPU (I dunno how true is that)
4/ if non of the above GPUs shall work with me, witch Similar gpu will?
my resultion is 1280x1024 ( no plans for upgrade that Currently)
my specs is
i5-2400
Win10 x64
Radeon HD 5450 2GB VRam (what i'm going to upgrade)
300w PSU (I'm going to upgrade it to 500w Brand PSU, if you guys have any suggest for a better psu im highly recommended to listen)
my budget is really low so i have to get sure witch gpu shall work with me before i buy it

any reply is really appreciated

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-AREZ-PH-RX550-2G-GDDR5-Graphics-Cards/dp/B07DTYNYR1/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1546774018&sr=8-4-fkmr0&keywords=Asus+-+Radeon+RX+550+-+640+2+GB+AREZ+Video+Card&linkCode=ll1&tag=xm3a06-20&linkId=885fe8915b8f6c06c6a62c02edd3402d
This GPU will be better than any that you want to buy and you won't be needing to upgrade the PSU for that, this GPU uses the mobo as a power source.
If you still want a PSU upgrade then a suggest this: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Bronze-Warranty-Supply-100-BT-0450-K1/dp/B01N9X3F8F/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1546774158&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+-+bt+450w+80++bronze+certified+atx+power+supply&linkCode=ll1&tag=xm3a06-20&linkId=1cf910815f1f6a15e845f0d6e018bdb9

Where are you located? I'm a little skeptical about your PSU upgrade after reading you're on a budget. Is this your prebuilt system's specs? If so, I'd advise on you making sure you're on the latest BIOS update. After that you could look at a PSU upgrade with an aftermarket PSU. Please look for a reliably built 450W~550W branded PSU. We're also going to need a budget apart from your location to understand what can be suggested.

After your PSU upgrade, If you have a friend who has a GTX1050Ti, you can borrow his GPU and try it out on your system. If your BIOS is not UEFI, your borrowed GPU will only give you a black screen in spite of booting into IS GUI. If your BIOS is indeed UEFI, you should be able to work off the GPU after dropping it into system. The same story is with AMD cards. All the cards that churn out of the factory now are on UEFI BIOS, so a lack of an UEFI BIOS environment on the motherboard gives you a black screen.

thanks for the reply, im from Egypt
and yeah it's my specs only the Difference is 2GB more RAM and only 500GB Hard
and I bought this from a Person so he may upgraded the CPU from pentium to core i5
I already searched for a BIOS update but there is none, if you need the version i can give it to you next reply after restarting

the 1$ here costs around 17 EGP
so my budget is aroung 65$, but prices here is like +20%-30% it's origin

and unfortunately, 1050ti is not something normal people can get here, so i don't have any friends with a GPU that i was looking to buy

Im still looking for an answer and thanks again for support

UPDATE: after clearly review the system specs you've mention, the mobo is different
I have Foxconn 2ABF not Pegatron
