My friend has a pre-built Asus pc the MA51C to be exact. He wants to add a graphics card but needs a better power supply. I'm trying to help him get what he needs.

The computer has some cheap brand I've never heard of with a size of 8 x 7.2 x 3.8 inches. I know this is a weird size compared to a standard PSU with a size of 5.5 x 5.9 x 3.4 inches. This also makes it hard to find a PSU with that form factor.

It would be great if someone could tell me if it's even possible to put a better PSU in. If a standard form factor would fit (like screw holes and stuff would still line up) that would be great, if you could recommend one with that form factor that'd be great as well. Thank you.

I don't see any evidence that the system would come with a larger power supply, and if it is low power enough to not be able to run a GTX 1060, then it should be smaller rather then larger.

If you can post pictures that might help.

Looks like a standard mid tower. I don't really see anything special about some of the stock power supplies I am seeing. Obviously, depending on which model he bought would decided what the cheapest power supply they could have gotten away with.

But a 1060 is fairly low power and it looks like any standard ATX will do. I wouldn't pick one with a very larger cooler, try to stick with the mid-range axial, or even a blower style.

Oh my bad on putting the wrong product name in there. So just to clarify, even though the power supply that comes predator installed is larger than most standard power supplies in size, something like a normal sized evga or corsair power supply would fit, correct?
