[2017davidwade]

Hello to all. Question I have a server pc one HP z220 with 1790 Motherboard. Lovely system fast CPU is the Xeon 1225 v2. 4 core. Based on the above what's the best GPU I can get away with my PSU is 400watts continues. I only have four fans, a main SSD for win 10 Pro. No PCI-e extras. 16GB DDR3 1600 over two of four dimms, according to one PSU usage site I'm using only 120watts currently. So what's the biggest best card I could power and if not a single card dual cards. Thanks All

Does the PSU have at least a 6-pin PCI-e power connector?
If it does not, then a gtx1050ti without auxiliary connector will be the max I would recommend.
Look for EVGA and Gigabyte models.

It depends on which 400W PSU you did have, because not all of the 400W PSU are the same, some of them are good, some of them are bad.

So check out your PSU, post it, also where will you buy the GPU?
