Hi all. Hope you're doing well!
I was recently gifted an Asus Vivo K20CD, i3-6098P (further specs here). It comes with on-board Intel HD 510 graphics which I'd like to beef up a little. It has a PCIE-16 slot, so I'm thinking of sticking a graphics card in it for some light/moderate gaming, perhaps a low-profile GT 730 DDR3 64-bit 2GB to fit in its narrow case.
The question I have is this: the desktop comes with a measly 90w external AC adapter and no room/infrastructure in the case for an internal PSU. Is it possible to upgrade the AC adapter to a compatible 180w/200w model to support the graphics card? Would something like this work? Wattage calculators suggest it's borderline, but I wonder if there's some other catch I'm not seeing.
