I recently purchased this HP Pavillion gaming PC. Big mistake on my part. But here we are...
[Minimum post requirement for links] The relevant specs you may want to know should be outlined in the link above... I'm a total noob to computers, and as I understand it... About the only thing I can do to boost performance on this rig is to update the graphics card to a 1050ti. Correct? If so... Could someone point out exactly which card I need to buy? A quick search showed a variety of them available, and I don't know the differences between them. I'm so new to this, that I don't even know what I don't know. Thanks for the help if you can... |

if you have only just purchased the PC.
Can you return still return it? Where did you purchase it from? |

| Do you know of a readily available power supply, that is compatible with this motherboard? If I'm reading correctly the HP power supply compatibility can be problematic... |

All those 1050tis will work the same, the versions just come down to some manufacturers make a better cooler or overclock the card more. Any of them will work for you the same though. I would reccommend getting a slightly newer card however as 1050tis are decently old nowadays, I would aim for a 1650ti |

| Is the 1650ti a plug and play component? Or would I need to upgrade my power source? Also are there "sizes" involved? Like compact versions that I need to consider when trying to fit it into my factory case, and mother board? |

| Just get any variant of that gpu.. it's really all preference. If plan on OC and putting a custom cooling kit on the card then the founder edition cards are the way to go since they have a better bin overall compared to 3rd party brands. |

| Thank you all for the replies. Sorry for the newbie questions. But this isn't my wheelhouse. So far the suggestions have been great! However I'm still unsure about a couple of things. The power supply. And the "compact" versions of the aforementioned cards... |

| One concern I have with the 1650ti, is that the listed specs call for a 6 pin connector. I think my mother board is a 4 pin? |
