Ok so I have a HP Pavilion 500-326na PC. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I got it last Christmas and it's ran all of the games I needed to play well (CSGO, League of Legends, etc. on a really nice FPS, usually over 60).
But with the recent release of Fallout 4, I fear that my PC will definitely not be able to handle it.
I would like to install an NVIDIA GTX 750Ti which should be fine for running Fallout 4. I also plan to install another 2GB of ram to give me 8GB in total, but upgrading RAM shouldn't be a problem.
My main fear is the power supply (180 W external power adapter (100V-240V))
It says it's external so I don't know if I can upgrade that to a normal power supply or not..
Can someone please clarify if it's possible to upgrade me power supply and install a GTX 750Ti? Thanks!

I believe you can change the PSU on the system to an internal one (taking the old external adapter out) however I am not sure you would have the space, you could merely check? Look at the top left corner when the case is opened up and see if there is a PSU looking device there.

Chances are you'd need a SFX PSU for that case. But yes, it would be possible.

180w would definitely be cutting it close - even with a 750Ti.
Can confirm, my i5/750Ti system runs F4 absolutely fantastically, medium settings at 60 fps with a few drops :-)

It's possible but you'd need a new PSU for that case.
