Graphics Card Compatibility Help

uns0und · Apr 8, 2018

Hello,

I recently purchased a pre-made PC from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0111MU5ZA/ref=psdc_13896597011_t5_B015XK1XN4

I’m not familiar with the performance of individual parts of my PC. But after some study I found that the graphics card in that premade is too poor. (Radeon R7 200 series)

So I’m looking to upgrade and I wanted to be sure my selection would work with the PC I have.

New Card:

New Power Supply:

I apologize for my lack of expertise on the subject, but I’m told this is the place to seek help. If I purchase those two items will everything work okay once I install them? Will there be any issues with installation? Is installation difficult? Thank you.

Which exact R7 200 series ?? Some (280 -290) are better than Rx 560.

CountMike :

It is an R7 250. It's detailed specs are in the first link. I should have been more detailed, sorry about that.

In that case, yes, Rx 560 would definitely be better. You may not even have to change PSU.

Can I be certain that I won’t need a new power supply? And will there be any issues with the compatibility with the motherboard? Thank you

560 doesn't need any added power and needs about 60W so if 250 worked so should 560 too. Same goes for compatibility.
