Before you worry about which psu to pick, make sure you can upgrade the psu. Does that computer use a standard power supply? Does that computer use standard power connectors? That computer also seems to come in different variations. Which specific one do you have?
You should mention why you want to upgrade the power supply. What GPU are you planning to get?
i am planing on playing games, and well the desktop that i recently got needs a graphic card and well the graphic card is too heavy for the power supply so i need a a power supply for it i dont really know much about computers so i am just going with what i see online but i am having problems choosing the power supply.
the graphic card is :EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 6GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC), 06G-P4-6163-KR.

i believe is a standard psu i found the upgraded part but i dont trust the page where i found the psu. sorry i am not knowledgeable about computers. i have the GATEWAY DX4860-UB21P.
Look at yours to see if it is the same dimensions at one of those. Standard ATX power supplies are all the same size, with there being some smaller MicroATX/SFX units that you can tell are physically smaller.

No reason you'd need a 500W+ PSU with a GTX 1060, assuming a typical CPU you are probably looking at a max load of around 225W for the entire machine, with typical gaming loads more around 200W.

Hmm well while i was looking for the right part i found out that it needs a 400W psu, but thats just info from the graphics card page.
Actually, I don't see why you can't go with this unit if you're stapped for cash.
But do know it comes with a lesser warranty (3 years vs 5 years for the CX450) https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/evga-450-bt-value-psu,5605.html

Well i am not really worried about the money, but i can try that psu then get a better one later on.

That's not a bad idea just to make sure standard ATX power supplies fit and work. I thought about buying one of them because they are so cheap just in case I needed it; but I already have an EVGA 430W laying around from my first build with an i3-4160 + GTX 750 Ti. It still works fine.

You need to look at the dimensions of your current PSU.
hi guys i tried the psu that you guys told and well it didn't work. The psu never turned on or anything i tried everything even moving some cables and nothing it might be defective or not, but i can't use it at this point i might as well just get anew machine. Thank you guys for your help.
