Which power supply should I use for mine?

I would like to upgrade my Acer xc 885 with an Nvidia geforce gtx 1650 low profile. I have already read that I need a new power supply, but I have not yet found a suitable one. My goal is to play games like Minecraft, Fortnite, Gta 5 etc. With high settings and good fps with my PC. Is this possible with the graphics card mentioned above?

Looking forward to answers.

Ma

Ehm why exactly this graphics card? Do you already have a PC? Or a completely new building?

El

I have the acer xc 885 and wanted to upgrade it

El

Another option would be the gtx 1050 ti low profile

Ma

Why buy such a scrap… The i3 is lean, take a rx580 Rx 590, or sell your pc, and use it to build a Ryzen system.

Co

Of course, a good power supply is very important and you shouldn't save money under any circumstances. Because the power supply is the most important component in a PC.

But if I read GTA5 with high settings and good fps, it could be a little tight with a 1650. But I'm not 100% sure, I haven't installed the card myself. But the tests were enough for me.

This could be a good and suitable power supply

An i5 9400 9th generation is installed in my PC but ok thanks for the tip

El

What about the gtx 1050 ti? Is it better?

Ma

Oh, according to the site, there's something else installed

Ma

No, it is significantly worse

Ma

And only graphics cards with a low profile fit in?

El

There are different models. One with an i3 (yes it is scrap) and then mine with the i5 9400. My PC currently has a Gt 730 installed ex works that can't be called a graphics card…

El

Yes, unfortunately, since this is a small housing…

Ma

Unfortunately it was quite expensive anyway, or you could have built better with your own construction, but good, that's just the way it is!

El

Okay, thank you

Ma

Possibly get a new housing for 30-40 euro? Install everything there? And then get a graphics card

Co

Do not believe. But see for yourself.

El

My parents didn't want to buy me a gaming PC because my PC was actually intended for school use. Her reason was that a desktop PC is much better to work with, which is absolute nonsense. But well that's what parents are like

Ma

Jop, parents who don't listen to their son, well, would take a new housing with more space.

El

I've already seen the video. But with the 1050 ti you have less fps.

El

And there's the next problem… My parents don't want me to mess around with the PC… So completely rebuild because they don't want it to break…

Ma

Not much can break… How old are you?

Al

No, it is worse and only has 4GB of graphics memory. Grand Theft Auto V really depends on the graphics memory. A high-performance graphics card with little graphics memory doesn't really help you much.

It is clear that the 1650 is better than the 1050ti. But both cards are still entry-level gaming graphics cards. No more and no less.

Ma

Hm difficult, as I would say again, could also offer to convert the PC, in the end you have to know it, I can't recommend the Gtx 1650

El

So I can do the conversion myself, but my parents are not so trustworthy… Which graphics card is recommended?

Ma

Budget?

El

First of all, it should fit the rest of the components

Ma

If it fits, then this one

That is exactly the biggest sticking point. The low memory. There are many current games, because even on FullHD, cards with only 4GB VRam are not enough.

On the other hand, he doesn't play the latest games. But as you say, GTA 5 could be in short supply. And if the VRam starts to outsource, it can quickly become unplayable.

Okay then I have to save a little bit longer but I don't think that's the problem. Would my system with this graphics card and the housing from the Link be a future-proof PC?

Ma

If you take this case, I recommend an rx 570 / rx 580 / rx 5700 xt

GTX 1660 super

Ma

Future sure is always a thing, but will be enough for a while ^^

El

And should I choose a completely new building, is my processor suitable for a good gaming PC?

Ma

Well what do you want to build new except housing and graphics card, Cpu fits. Even if ryzen were more future-proof.

El

OK. What would a new power supply, a new graphics card and a new housing cost me now?

And what can I do wrong when converting?

Ma

That you do the wrong connections. But there's YouTube, "Enter PC build" and there are a lot of videos.

Power supply 60-70 euro housing no idea, it depends on which, with graphics card the same

El

Okay then, thank you very much for the good advice.

El

But for mainly playing Minecraft, I think a PC with a gtx 1650, nem i5 9400 and 8gb ram (which I might still upgrade) will probably suffice.

Co

It will be enough for Minecraft.

Al

If you like a game like If you want to play GTA V on the highest graphics details then you need a graphics card with a lot of graphics memory. My graphics card has 6GB and I can use it to play GTA V almost at the highest graphics settings. I once set GTA V to the highest graphics settings just to see how much graphics memory it took and the result was 9101 MB. And that's pretty neat. A good, powerful graphics card with little graphics memory would be of no use. It is already assumed that at some point GTA 6 will be out that you will need at least 4GB of graphics memory and 12GB of graphics memory are recommended and that is clear enough.

Al

A normal laptop is enough for Minecraft.
