Hello Everyone,

Thanks for viewing my thread! Just have a couple of questions regarding a possible GPU upgrade I want to perform.

Firstly, Ill outline my specs:

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz
RAM: 8GB (4x2GB)
Motherboard: Intel DQ57TM
Power Supply: X-Power ATX-400T (400W)
GPU:GT 730 2 GB (Gigabyte)
HDD: S465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142
Optical Drives: SH-S223F

Next, I just have a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible, with the above specs, to upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1050ti (Thinking Gigabytes version.)
2. What steps are involved in safely doing this?

Thanks in advance!

There aren't any steps really if you get the 1050 ti without any 6-pin pcie connectors, just uninstall the graphics drivers, install the new card, and reinstall the new drivers. Should be a very significant upgrade.

Hey! I'm looking to do the same thing. Will the Intel DQ57TM supply enough power over PCIe x16 to power the 1050ti? (I have the 1050ti that does not have a six-pin)
